“The demands of unbounded individualism need to be weighed in the light of inherent social constraints which can only change their form but cannot be eliminated without eliminating civilization.”

“We are not a nation that says 'don't ask, don't tell.' We are a nation that says 'out of many, we are one.'”

“Part of America's genius has always been its ability to absorb newcomers, to forge a national identity out of the disparate lot that arrived on our shores.”

“If two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary.”
