Part Of Diplomacy Is To Open Different Definitions Of Self-interest.

The People Of New York Took A Big Chance On Me. And I'm Well Aware Of That.

As A Young Lawyer, I Learned To Try To Find Common Ground With People, To Look For A Human Connection. When I Got To The Senate, Despite The Fact That There Were A Lot Of People Who Didn't Want Me To Get There - And Were Sure They'd Never Even Talk To Me, Let Alone Work With Me - I Really Tried To Do The Job I Was Sent There To Do By The People Of New York, Which Was To Get Things Done For My Constituents. I Worked With Republicans, And We Found A Lot Of Common Ground. It Isn't Easy, But It's Part Of What We Have To Do In Politics Today.

I Think That The Decision To Go To War In Iraq Was A Mistake.

Being Human, We Are Imperfect. That's Why We Need Each Other. To Catch Each Other When We Falter. To Encourage Each Other When We Lose Heart. Some May Lead; Others May Follow; But None Of Us Can Go It Alone.
