Obama: Obey the Golden Rule

commencement speakers
President Barack Obama delivers the commencement speech during the 2009 graduation ceremony at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., Sunday, May 17, 2009.

"If there is one law that we can be most certain of, it is the law that binds people of all faiths and no faith together. ... It is, of course, the Golden Rule -- the call to treat one another as we wish to be treated. The call to love. The call to serve. To do what we can to make a difference in the lives of those with whom we share the same brief moment on this Earth. So many of you at Notre Dame ... have lived this law of love through the service you've performed at schools and hospitals; international relief agencies and local charities."
