The story of America is the story of an adventure that began with deep faith, big dreams and humble beginnings.

We must regain the conviction that we need one another, that we have a shared responsibility for others and the world, and that being good and decent are worth it. We have had enough of immorality and the mockery of ethics, goodness, faith and honesty. It is time to acknowledge that light-hearted superficiality has done us no good.

The worth of things can't be measured by what they cost but by what the cost you to get it, that if anything costs you your faith or your family, then the price is too high, and that there are some things that will never wear out.

The dream has been shattered, and I have had my nightmarish experiences, but I tell you this morning once more that I haven't lost the faith.

What is faith worth if it is not translated into action?

Haters will say what they want, but their hate will never stop you from chasing your dream.
