We are particularly thankful to you for your part in the movement to have the words under God added to our Pledge of Allegiance. These words will remind Americans that despite our great physical strength we must remain humble. They will help us keep constantly in our minds and hearts the spiritual and moral principles which alone give dignity to man.

Things are more like they are now than they ever were before.

The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without.

There is one thing about being President -- nobody can tell you when to sit down.

Today in America, unions have a secure place in our industrial life. Only a handful of reactionaries harbor the ugly thought of breaking unions and depriving working men and women of the right to join the union of their choice. I have no use for those - regardless of their political party - who hold some vain and foolish dream of spinning the clock back to days when organized labor was huddled, almost as a hapless mass. Only a fool would try to deprive working men and women of the right to join the union of their choice.

No battle was ever won according to plan, but no battle was ever won without one.

United in this determination and with unshakable faith in the cause for which we fight, we will, with God's help, go forward to our greatest victory.
