Political leaders

"Our values are the best hope for the future of our world."

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing."

"I come to the office each morning and stay for long hours doing what has to be done to the best of my ability. And when you've done the best you can you can't do any better."

"I will do my best. That is all I can do. I ask for your help-and God's."

"Never be satisfied with less than your very best effort. If you strive for the top and miss, you'll still 'beat the pack.'"

"There is no passion to be found in playing small - in settling for a life that is less than what you are capable of living."

"Above all, I believe in God. I believe also, that I must live with myself. I must be able to face myself each morning and say: 'I did my best yesterday. I will do my best again today.'"

"My charge as prime minister is to take any decision that is in the best interest of the country."

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

"Let us not seek the Republic answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer."

"The most practical kind of politics is the politics of decency."
