"Remember, the kindness isn't a weakness. It is a very potent strength. Many famous, powerful people are also extremely kind. People like, actually I do know a famous, powerful person who is kind. A dear friend of mine and a Northwestern alum, Stephen Colbert. And it's difficult for me to process just how much you've all experienced in your young lives. I feel your anxiety and your fears about the world around you and it's heartbreaking to me. You have already had to overcome a lifetime's worth of turmoil and uncertainty and it doesn't seem fair. My wife and I do what we can to help our children through these troubling times and I'd like to give you the same advice that we give to them. Remember the little things like being kind and that you're not alone. Take care of one another. Remember to laugh when you have the opportunity and to cry when necessary. And keep in mind that as badly as you feel about the state of the world, your parents probably feel worse."
