I Have Fallen Short In My Life,

Frankly, I Don't Mind Not Being President. I Just Mind That Someone Else Is.

There Is No Safety In Hiding. Like My Brothers Before Me, I Pick Up A Fallen Standard. Sustained By The Memory Of Our Priceless Years Together, I Shall Try To Carry Forward That Special Commitment To Justice, Excellence And Courage That Distinguished Their Lives.

Floating Screw - That's What People Used To Call Me.

My Father Enabled Me To Really Believe In Myself. And Yet I've Heard Very Similar Stories - From Many, Many People. It's The Way He Approached His Life. The Way He Approached His Life - He Was The Eternal Optimist. He Was The Most Optimistic Person That I've Ever Known. Even In The Face Of This Diagnosis With Cancer, He Was Filled With Optimism About What He Could Do And What He Could Accomplish.

For All My Years In Public Life, I Have Believed That America Must Sail Toward The Shores Of Liberty And Justice For All. There Is No End To That Journey, Only The Next Great Voyage. We Know The Future Will Outlast All Of Us, But I Believe That All Of Us Will Live On In The Future We Make.
