Guns and tanks and planes are nothing unless there is a solid spirit, a solid heart, and great productiveness behind it.

Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.

Kinship among nations is not determined in such measurements as proximity of size and age. Rather we should turn to those inner things - call them what you will - I mean those intangibles that are the real treasures free men possess. To preserve his freedom of worship, his equality before law, his liberty to speak and act as he sees fit, subject only to provisions that he trespass not upon similar rights of others - a Londoner will fight. So will a citizen of Abilene. When we consider these things, then the valley of the Thames draws closer to the farms of Kansas and the plains of Texas.

We view our Nation's strength and security as a trust, upon which rests the hope of free men everywhere.

It is still a fact that our common frontier grows stronger every year, defended only by friendship.

We ... must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow.

Take your job seriously, but not yourself
