We're calling it the ONE campaign, to put an end to AIDS and extreme poverty in Africa. They believe we can do it, so do I.”

“Segregation. There was another one. America sees this now but it took a civil rights movement to betray their age. And 50 years ago the U. S. Supreme Court betrayed the age May 17, 1954, Brown vs. Board of Education came down and put the lie to the idea that separate can ever really be equal. Amen to that.”

Yes, it's true. And for anyone who knows me, it's hardly a revelation.”

National Prayer Breakfast (2006)

“There is no failure here sweetheart, just when you quit.”

Lyrics, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2004)

“It's a fact. So why aren't we pumping our fists in the air and cheering about it? Well probably because when we admit we can do something about it, we've got to do something about it. For the first time in history we have the know how, we have the cash, we have the lifesaving drugs, but do we have the will?”

“Vision over visibility”

Moment of Surrender
Lyrics, No Line On The Horizon (2009)
