A fighter, a real strong fighter should always look dignified and calm and I believe that any expression of aggression is an expression of weakness.

We in the United States, above all, must remember that lesson, for we were founded as a nation of openness to people of all beliefs. And so we must remain. Our very unity has been strengthened by our pluralism. We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief, nor will we ever.
