I hate the term 'philanthropist.'

When you're someone who cares about making a difference in the world, and you have resources to do that, you have literally hundreds of choices you could make about how to do that.

There are many successful startup funders who are looking for ways to make a difference in the world.

Governor Rauner talks about what he might get done or what he tried to get done. It's past time for all his talk. It's time for action. It's what I've been doing my whole life.

You know why I'm running for governor? Because everything we care about is under siege from President Donald Trump and Bruce Rauner.

Black and brown communities are significantly and disproportionately impacted by deficiencies in our criminal justice system.

When I'm governor, we're not going to be silent like Bruce Rauner. Illinois will be a firewall against Donald Trump's destructive and bigoted agenda.

If you're governor of a state, and you have nothing to say when the president attacks the people that you represent, you are complicit.

It takes a tough, stand-up governor to stand up to the president of the United States - speaking out against the president, speaking out against his policies and, more than that, having actual policies that will help expand health care while... Trump is trying to diminish it for Illinois families.

As an elected official, an advocate for children, and an educator, Glenn Poshard has always fought for what's right.

Illinois needs a single-payer health care system, and as governor, I will take the steps to get us there.

Health care is a human right, and single-payer health care will deliver quality, affordable care to every Illinoisan.

Single-payer is about making our society a better place. It's about putting people over profits.

We all know Illinois has big challenges. And under Gov. Rauner, things have only gotten worse.

Small ideas won't help Illinois' future.

The challenge in multi-lateral negotiations is not to lose sight of one's over-arching goal in the midst of the cacophony of opinions at the bargaining table.

For decades, Iran has covertly worked to develop a nuclear weapons program and has repeatedly violated its international obligations.

I'm a progressive.

I'm an independent thinker and independent leader. I have been my whole life.

When you're governor, you've got to step up to the plate; you've got to make a proposal for a balanced budget. That's the requirement. And then you've got to sit down and negotiate if the folks that you need to work with disagree with you on points.

My great-grandfather came here as a refugee from the pogrom in Ukraine.

Rauner stands silent as Trump assaults our basic rights.

I have been fighting to protect women's healthcare and reproductive rights for decades.

Unfortunately, Bruce Rauner is more committed to playing politics than fighting for Illinois women and families.

The basic right to quality and affordable health care is under assault by Donald Trump and Republicans in Washington.

Rauner needs to tell Illinoisans what essential health benefits he intends to keep covering in Illinois.

Bruce Rauner needs to lead, and until he does, we must fight to hold him accountable.

With Donald Trump as president and Republicans in control of Congress, our healthcare is under attack.

I've been honored to take part in protests and events across Illinois, joining with thousands of you in the resistance, making calls, sending letters, and making sure Washington understands that we will not allow the ACA to be repealed.

Illinois has the opportunity to lead the country in providing more affordable health care options to its citizens.

Setting a tone of inclusiveness and ensuring protection for all begins at the top, whether from the White House or the State House.

There are not 'many sides' in the fight against hatred and bigotry. There is only right and wrong.

Everyone here has a right to their own political beliefs and everybody has the right to stand by what they believe in. That's what makes us American.

I love my story. I wouldn't change it. It gives it character. It's never been on a silver spoon.

I had to lower my hands, I had to work my hips a different way. I also had to stride to get the power. I'd always been a standstill hitter and had to generate power from my upper body. Basically, I had to change everything I was doing. It was really difficult.

You can say baseball's fun, you're in the big leagues, you get to come to a Major League field every day - and, yeah, that's great. I love it.

Rodney Linares really stuck his neck out in Greenville to play me, because they had their prospects, guys who they had invested money in.

I busted my butt in '15. Then in '16, I broke my arm running into a wall, so then I got scared of running into walls because I didn't want to get hurt again.

I've been on a bunch of teams in my career.

I want to win championships.

There aren't too many Mookie Betts, Mike Trouts or Bryce Harpers out there to be grabbed. Those players only come around once every 10 years.

Losing is incentivized now. You have 80 percent of the teams trying to lose.

You can't say it's good when guys out there are signing minor league deals and they would be big league players on 80 percent of the teams, but why would a team sign a player when you can pay dirt, and they're not going to win anyway?

I'm a very analytical guy, I like to study my swing, I like to study what my back foot is doing, my elbow, whatever it might be, and there's a lot of guys nowadays that are like that. That's the trend of the game, that's the way the game has gone.

My whole life, I've felt like I've always had to prove myself. It's never been easy, as easy as others who are in my position have had it.

Everyone's path is their own.

I told Pedro this story: I used to wear a freakin' Pedro Martinez jersey because it had 'Martinez' on the back.

I grew up in Miami watching baseball down there, so you could see it from one extreme to the next. It was like, 'Well, this is what baseball is about.'

I love my country. I love this country.

I stand by the Constitution and I stand by the Second Amendment and it's something that I take pride in. It's something that I'll back up.
