Well I wouldn't say that I was in the 'great' class but I had a great time while I was trying to be great.

For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up. We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace--business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.

Harricum! Harricum! Give 'em hell Harricum!

The presidency does not yield to definition. Like the glory of a morning sunrise it can be experienced - it can not be told.

Within the first few months I discovered that being a president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep riding or be swallowed.

Don't let it be forgot That once there was a spot -For one brief shining moment That was known as Camelot.

In America any boy may become president and I suppose it's just one of the risks he takes.

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

No man will ever bring out of the Presidency the reputation which carries him into it.

I believe in (the American) people. I believe that people are more good than bad. I believe tragic things happen. I think there's evil in the world. But I think that at the end of the day, if we work hard, and if we're true to those things in us that feel true and feel right, that, the world gets a little better each time. That's what this presidency is trying to be about. And I see that in the young people I work with. This is not just drama-obama. This is what I really believe.
