"I think right now, the focus has..." - Quote by John Lewis

“We are one people with one family. We all live in the same house... and through books, through information, we must find a way to say to people that we must lay down the burden of hate. For hate is too heavy a burden to bear.”

“When you make mistakes, when you're wrong, you should admit you're wrong and ask people to forgive you.”

“But you have to have hope. You have to be optimistic in order to continue to move forward.”

“The most important decisions in organizations are people decisions, and yet only the military, and only recently, has begun to ask, "If we assign this general to lead this base, what do we expect him to accomplish?"”

“Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither. We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its greatness into relations with other nations of the earth, and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities.”

“The government you elect is the government you deserve.”

“I don't know who all of his advisers are, but I've seen some of the names and some of them are quite far to the right. And sometimes they might be in a position to make judgments or recommendations to the candidate that should get a second thought.”

“If I studied all my life, I couldn't think up half the number of funny things passed in one session of congress.”

“When all is said and done, and statesmen discuss the future of the world, the fact remains that people fight these wars.”
