My dad always said, 'Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.'

I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man.

When you question a man's motives, when you say they are acting out of greed, they are in the pocket of an interest group, et cetera. It's awful hard to reach consensus. It's awful hard to reach across the table and shake hands. No matter how bitterly you disagree, though, it is always possible if you question judgment and not motive.

In the good old days when I was a senator, I was my own man.

I believe the measure of a man isn't just the road he's traveled; it's the choices he's made along the way.

A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!

Donald Trump is appealing to, that whole expression, everybody who asked me, why is Trump able to win in those 16 people? There's a whole expression. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. I'm not very good at prognosticating but I would not be surprised if he's the nominee.
