There are no mistakes, only happy accidents.

If you learned how to make a cloud, your time is not wasted.

I was the guy who makes you scrub the latrine, the guy who makes you make your bed, the guy who screams at you for being late to work. The job requires you to be a mean, tough person.

I make mistakes like the next man. In fact, being - forgive me - rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger.

It's just that... I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.

Once you have accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Thank you, Kamala Harris, for the trust that you've placed in me. And maybe more so, thank you for bringing back the joy. I couldn't be prouder to be on this ticket - and to help make you the next President of the United States.

While Walz pretends to support Americans in the Heartland, when the cameras are off, he believes that rural America is "mostly cows and rocks". Walz is obsessed with spreading California's dangerously liberal agenda far and wide.

While it's not very Minnesotan to brag, I've got to brag on our state a little here: We were just ranked #1 in the country for health care.
