Newark Mayor Cory Booker delivers the main address during Class Day for Yale seniors at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., May 19, 2013.

"Always understand that first class in life has nothing to do with where you sit on an airplane. First class in life has nothing to do with the clothes you wear, the car you drive or the house you live in. First class is and always will be about the content of your character, the quality of your ideas, the kindness of your heart."

Cory Booker

Mayor of Newark, N.J.
