I Run Because I Am

This World Demands The Qualities Of Youth; Not A Time Of Life But A State Of Mind, A Temper Of The Will, A Quality Of The Imagination, A Predominance Of Courage Over Timidity, Of The Appetite For Adventure Over The Life Of Ease.

Courage Is The Most Important Attribute Of A Lawyer. It Is More Important Than Competence Or Vision. It Can Never Be An Elective In Any Law School. It Can Never Be De-limited, Dated Or Outworn, And It Should Pervade The Heart, The Halls Of Justice And The Chambers Of The Mind.

Too Much And Too Long, We Seem To Have Surrendered Community Excellence And Community Values In The Mere Accumulation Of Material Things.

And As Long As America Must Choose, That Long Will There Be A Need And A Place For The Democratic Party. We Democrats Can Run On Our Record But We Cannot Rest On It. We Will Win If We Continue To Take The Initiative And If We Carry The Message Of Hope And Action Throughout The Country. Alexander Smith Once Said, 'a Man Doesn't Plant A Tree For Himself. He Plants It For Posterity.' Let Us Continue To Plant, And Our Children Shall Reap The Harvest. That Is Our Destiny As Democrats.

Your Life Can Be Anything You Want It To Be.
