We cannot look backwards. What we have to do is raise our heads, look forward, roll up our sleeves and work.

We have to get it into our heads once and for all that we cannot settle disputes by eliminating human beings.

We have the opportunity and the responsibility to lead our country to a better and brighter future, and I cannot wait to roll up my sleeves and get back to work.

We cannot kill or capture our way out of an industrial-strength insurgency.

It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.

The work of community, love, reconciliation, restoration is the work we cannot leave up to politicians. This is the work we are all called to do.
