“It is my hope that people today will see that, in another time, in another period, when we saw the need for people to speak up, to organize, to mobilize, and to do something about injustice, we came together.”

“I'm very hopeful. I am very optimistic about the future.”

“I happen to believe that this election year [2016] is...one of the most important elections that we're going to face in a very long time. I know we hear from time to time that every election is important. This one is very, very important.”

“Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.”

“[T]here is only one sound argument for democracy, and that is the argument that it is a crime for any man to hold himself out as better than other men, and, above all, a most heinous offense for him to prove it.”

“Democracy can only represent the average if not less than the average.”

“If watching is all you're going to do, then you're going to watch your life go by without you.”

“If I do not participate in the sacrifice, it is as if I did not sacrifice at all.”

“The first duty of an American citizen, then, is that he shall work in politics.”
