The American Dream is that any man or woman, despite of his or her background, can change their circumstances and rise as high as they are willing to work.

High school dropouts are forfeiting their opportunity to pursue the American Dream.

The American dream belongs to all of us.

The American dream is about freedom.

I've not only pursued the American dream, I've achieved it. I suppose we could say the last few years, I've also achieved the American nightmare.

In this remarkable time for the world, I refuse to believe it's time to stop believing in the possibilities of our remarkable country. I refuse to accept the downsizing of the American Dream. I refuse to bet against American entrepreneurial spirit and American ingenuity.The competition's tough, and it requires us to be tougher - tough-minded, never hard hearted.
