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.

Sweet praise is like perfume. It is fine if you don't swallow it.

And the purpose of that getting on first base was to get you around to count a run.
