Author David McCullough: “Every presidential election is a renewal…Like spring, it brings up all the juices. The people are so tired of contrivance and fabrication and hokum. They really want to be stirred in their spirit. That’s when we are at our best. The great presidents are people who caused those who follow them to do more than they thought they were capable of.”

Professor Cornel West: “The American people want a statesman who will tell the truth about our collective life together, good and bad, up and down, vices and virtues. That is the ultimate act of respect for the American people.”

Author William F. Buckley: “What a successful president does is transcend the usual marketplace collisions. FDR accomplished that, and so did Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. A successful president isn’t necessarily one who takes us in a direction I applaud. But he is somebody who does get the country excited about a political purpose.”

Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin: “We need to get away from a political system that is so filled with minute public opinion polls and focus groups and the ability to know what the electorate is thinking at every moment that the leader loses his instincts for boldness. The job is not simply to reflect current opinion but to challenge it, move it forward and shape it. The ability to just take a stand and know that you can move the country to that stand is a lost art we need to recapture.”

Sen. John McCain: On JFK’s speech proposing the Peace Corps: “Young people were willing to live in a village hut in Africa for years and dig irrigation ditches. Why were they willing to do that? Why were they in fact eager to do that? It’s because he inspired them to do it.”
