We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another.
You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts!
Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness.
God, this is perhaps the greatest piece of rhetoric ever. It absolutely blows me away every time I listen to it.
“There is a word in German: Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz. And the closest translation would be…’Lifelong Treasure of Destiny.’ And Victoria is wunderbar, but she is not my Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz. She is my Beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand, you know? It means…’the thing that is almost the thing that you want…but it’s not quite.’ Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz is not something that develops over time. It is something that happens instantaneously.It courses through you like the water of a river after a storm…filling you and emptying you all at once. You feel it throughout your body…in your hands…in your heart…in your stomach…in your skin…Have you ever felt this way about someone? If you have to think about it, you have not felt it. Everyone does eventually. You just never know when or where.”

God, everybody knows you only wear Sperry’s with your Nantucket’s.
In your role now as Secretary of State, you’ve had such high level meetings…
