Joe Biden Quotes Vice President, United States, 2009-2017 Innovation can only occur where you can breathe free. Don't tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value. I believe the measure of a man isn't just the road he's traveled; it's the choices he's made along the way. The greatest gift is the ability to forget - to forget the bad things and focus on the good. We must rekindle the fire of idealism in our society, for nothing suffocates the promise of America more than unbounded cynicism and indifference.
