Our strength lies, not alone in our proving grounds and our stockpiles, but in our ideals, our goals, and their universal appeal to all men who are struggling to breathe free.

A lie is an abomination unto the Lord, and a very present help in trouble.

Carelessness about our security is dangerous, carelessness about our freedom is also dangerous.

If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is no barking dog to be tethered on a ten-foot chain.

Man is a strange animal, he doesn't like to read the handwriting on the wall until his back is up against it.

A wise man does not try to hurry history. Many wars have been avoided by patience, and many have been precipitated by reckless haste.

A wise man who stands firm is a statesman, a foolish man who stands firm is a catastrophe.
