Mike Wallace
CBS News Correspondent
The other thing about the American Dream is to help others to achieve it, to realize it too, and to be willing to defend it, to be willing to go to the mat, to tell other people and to defend it with your body if necessary, with your mind, with your ethics, to be honest. I just can't imagine -- despite all our flaws, and we have plenty of them, the American Dream for me is the privilege of living in a society that is as good as ours is, with all its flaws, and God knows there are those, I can't think of any place in the world that I would rather live. I'm extraordinarily privileged, as the son of immigrants who came from no place.

Sanford Weill
Financier and Philanthropist
Sanford Weill: I've had a terrific life, from building one company to be the second largest company in the securities industry and merging that into American Express, and becoming president of that company. And not having a similar philosophy and leaving there, and starting all over again about ten and a half years ago. Having an opportunity to build, really from scratch, a company that's now one of the largest financial companies in the world. And at the same time, have an opportunity to do a lot of things that make our society better, and work with young people, and give them an opportunity to see what the American Dream is about. And get to feel better about themselves and teach them that education is the key that unlocks the door to their future.
