“I believe in the American Dream because I have seen it come true in my own life. It is a long way from Yorba Linda to the White House. I have made that journey, and I want see a country in which every young American can have opportunity to make that journey. I want your dreams to come true as well.
You will suffer disappointments in life, and sometime you will be very discouraged. It is sad to loose, but the greatest sadness is to have traveled through life without knowing either victory or defeat...
2000 years ago the poet Sophocles wrote: ‘One must wait until the evening to see how splendid the day has been.’ I can look back and say that the day has indeed been splendid. “
