Rhetoric Never Won A Revolution Yet.

I Stand Before You Today As A Candidate For The Democratic Nomination For The Presidency Of The United States. I Am Not The Candidate Of Black America, Although I Am Black And Proud. I'm Not The Candidate Of The Women's Movement Of This Country, Although I Am A Woman, And I'm Equally Proud Of That. I Am Not The Candidate Of Any Political Bosses Or Fat Cats Or Special Interests... I Am The Candidate Of The People...

Rhetoric Never Won A Revolution Yet.

Don't List To Those Who Say You Can't. Listen To The Voice Inside Yourself That Says, I Can.

I Ran For The Presidency, Despite Hopeless Odds, To Demonstrate The Sheer Will And Refusal To Accept The Status Quo.

My God, What Do We Want? What Does Any Human Being Want? Take Away An Accident Of Pigmentation Of A Thin Layer Of Our Outer Skin And There Is No Difference Between Me And Anyone Else. All We Want Is For That Trivial Difference To Make No Difference.
