There must be justice, sensed and shared by all peoples, for, without justice the world can know only a tense and unstable truce.

When you are in any contest, you should work as if there were - to the very last minute - a chance to lose it. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything.

Against the dark background of the atomic bomb, the United States does not wish merely to present strength, but also the desire and the hope for peace.

And they can appreciate, through personal experience, that the really decisive battleground of American freedom is in the hearts and minds of our own people... Each day we must ask that Almighty God will set and keep His protecting hand over us so that we may pass on to those who come after us the heritage of a free people, secure in their God-given rights and in full control of a Government dedicated to the preservation of those rights.

Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.

Plans are nothing; planning is everything.

I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it.
