Mitt Romney has never been resigned to what someone else said was possible. He cut his own path. That's why he believes in his heart that America has a future full of opportunity and hope. And that's why when Mitt Romney looks down the road he sees a country that's ready for a comeback.

To the citizens of Israel I say: we have passed difficult years faced the most painful experiences and overcame them. The future lies before us. We are required to take difficult and controversial steps but we must not miss the opportunity to try to achieve what we have wished for for so many years: security tranquillity and peace.

There is an opportunity for us to renew ourselves. There's an opportunity for us to leave the past behind and present something different for the future.

If we want to deliver opportunity for all we need an economy that delivers jobs for the future.

We must not become the new puritans and reject our society. We must address and master the future together. It can be done if we restore the belief that we share a sense of national community that we share a common national endeavor. It can be done.

We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We are a people in search of a national community.

While we can remember the past we cannot write the future. Only our children the future of our community can do that.

I launched The Emeril Lagasse Foundation to provide culinary training and developmental and educational programs to children in the cities where my restaurants operate. I think everyone has a responsibility to give back to the community if they can and to help future generations learn new skills.

And that's how we build the economy of the future. An economy with more jobs and less debt we root it in fairness. We grow it with opportunity. And we build it together.

There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.

Our work is before us. It cannot be passed to future legislatures and must not be passed to future generations. May we boldly seize the moment with singular unity. And may we build a Texas of unlimited possibility.

I don't really necessarily think I'm a funny guy but I like the opportunity to take on something that I don't feel I'm the best at doing.

Rock n' roll as a genre is different from pop and hip hop: it is about bands and that for me suggests brotherhood family friendship and community.

It will give them the opportunity to show themselves worthy of the respect and friendship of peace-loving nations and in time to take an honorable place among members of the United Nations.

The building of friendship family community and love is complicated. We are so isolated in this country no longer supported by tribes and villages.

One friend in a lifetime is much two are many three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life a community of thought a rivalry of aim.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility never an opportunity.

We live in a land like no other - a land of freedom and opportunity unparalleled on the face of the globe.

I have always that there ought to be some kind of mandatory national service not necessarily in the military but to show everybody that freedom isn't free that everybody has an obligation to the nation as a community.

That's part of American greatness is discrimination. Yes sir. Inequality I think breeds freedom and gives a man opportunity.

The communitarians may say you've been enjoying too much individual freedom and that you must give up some of that for the benefit of the community. But they really mean that they want more power over your life - to force you to subsidize obey and conform to their choices.

What does it mean to be an American? While each of us may have our own specific answer to that question we likely can agree on the basic principles of America: freedom equal opportunity and rights accompanied by responsibilities.

The people of the Middle East share the desire for freedom. We have an opportunity - and an obligation - to help them turn this desire into reality.
