Like all successful politicians I married above myself.

Our arms must be mighty ... ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction

To have a free, peaceful and prosperous world we must be ever stronger particularly in the spiritual things....It is American belief in decency and justice and progress and the value of individual liberty because of the rights conferred on each of us by our Creator that willcarry us through.... There must be something in the heart as well as the head.

When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.

More than ever before, in our country, this is the age of the individual. Endowed with the accumulated knowledge of centuries, armed with all the instruments of modern science, he is still assured personal freedom and wide avenues of expression so that he may win for himself, his family and his country greater material comfort, ease and happiness; greater spiritual satisfaction and contentment.

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

The hand of the aggressor is stayed by strength - and strength alone.
