A few apt words have swept candidates into office, ended as well as started wars, paved the way for peace and carried with them both hope as well as despair.

"As much as I enjoy romance, it's commitment that I need the most. I need to know a love I can depend on, a love that says, 'I will be with you through it all. I love you. And I will love you even when you may not be all that lovable, for sometimes I'm not very lovable either. You can count on me - always."

"One good wish changes nothing. But one good decision changes everything. Your power to choose, to make a good decision, spells the difference between wishing and making real life changes."
