Great tragedy has come to us, and we are meeting it with the best that is in our country, with courage and concern for others because this is America. This is who we are.
The wisest use of American strength is to advance freedom.
Everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear.
I understand everybody in this country doesn't agree with the decisions I've made. And I made some tough decisions. But people know where I stand.
Our nation must come together to unite.
Americans are rising to the tasks of history, and they expect the same of us.
