The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter.

Character in many ways is everything in leadership. It is made up of many things, but I would say character is really integrity.

Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.

America's leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment.

The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

The hope of the world is that wisdom can arrest conflict between brothers. I believe that war is the deadly harvest of arrogant and unreasoning minds. And I find grounds for this belief in the wisdom literature of Proverbs. It says in effect this: Panic strikes like a storm and calamity comes like a whirlwind to those who hate knowledge and ignore their God.

Innovations and discoveries have created new industries giving more and more Americans better jobs and adding greatly to the prosperity and well being of all.
