You inspire us Sen. Sanders, to be better. We are more beautiful than we were and we're grateful for your leadership in making that happen. Let us be the wind beneath your wings!

Never had a senator bring tears of joy to my eyes nor have I followed a presidential campaign so closely. No matter what happens, you, Mr. Sanders, have lit a fire that will, hopefully, burn brighter than before. #feelthebern

If I knew anything about sculpture, I would chisel a cliff with your likeness and call it a national monument. I could go on and on... But I'll stop here. Just, thank you, forever and ever.
