The final night of the Democratic National Convention highlighted Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s commitment to public service, as well as the sacrifice of American soldiers and immigrants.
Here are the night’s most memorable lines:

Hillary Clinton on Bernie Sanders
“To all of your supporters here and around the country: I want you to know, I’ve heard you. Your cause is our cause. Our country needs your ideas, energy and passion.”
Hillary Clinton on Donald Trump
“A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.”
Hillary Clinton on ‘public service’
“Through all these years of public service, the ‘service’ part has always come easier to me than the ‘public’ part. I get it that some people just don’t know what to make of me.”
Hillary Clinton on policy
“I sweat the details.”
Hillary Clinton on historic nomination
“When any barrier falls in America, it clears the way for everyone,” she said of being the first female presidential nominee for a major party.
Hillary Clinton on who she represents
“I will be a president for Democrats, Republicans and independents. For the struggling, the striving and the successful. For those who vote for me and those who don’t. For all Americans.”
Hillary Clinton on financial regulation reform
I believe that Wall Street can never be allowed to wreck Main Street again.
Hillary Clinton on climate change
“I believe in science.”
Hillary Clinton on America’s moment
“America is once again at a moment of reckoning. Powerful forces are threatening to pull us apart. Bonds of trust and respect are fraying. And just as with our founders, there are no guarantees. It’s truly is up to us.”
Chelsea Clinton
“I never once doubted that my parents cared about my thoughts and my ideas, and I always, always knew how deeply they loved me. That feeling of being valued and loved — that’s what my mom works for for every child. It is the calling of her life.”
Khizr Khan
“Donald Trump, you are asking Americans to trust you with our future. Let me ask you: Have you even read the US Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy. In this document, look for the words ‘liberty’ and ‘equal protection of law,’ ” said the father of a Muslim-American soldier killed in Iraq War.
Illinois Rep. Tammy Duckworth, veteran
“Donald Trump, I didn’t put my life on the line to defend our democracy so you could invite Russia to interfere in it.”
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo
“Fifteen years ago on September 11th, we saw death and we saw destruction. And we saw unimaginable horror and cruelty. But we saw something else, my friends. We saw this nation come together like it has never come together before,” he said. “We weren’t black or white or brown. We were red and white and blue. And that is the only colors that matter in the United States of America!”
Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm
“Donald you’re so vain. You probably think this speech is about you, don’t you?”
‘Republican Women for Hillary’ co-founder Jennifer Lim
“In Donald Trump’s America, it doesn’t matter that I’m an accomplished attorney and a policy expert, it just matters how attractive I am on a scale of one to 10.”
NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
“Hello everyone. I’m Michael Jordan and I’m here with Hillary. I said that because I know that Donald Trump couldn’t tell the difference.”
