For a just and lasting peace, here is my solemn pledge to you: by dedication and patience we will continue, as long as I remain your President, to work for this simple - this single - this exclusive goal.

There is very little that our government or any government can do to plant the seeds of international understanding in the hearts and minds of people around the world. If people by the millions can reach out their hands in friendship and communicate directly warmth, personal interest and respect, it will be a real beginning in the struggle for a peaceful world.

Morale - the will to win, the fighting heart - are the honored hallmarks of the football coach and player. Likewise, they are characteristic of the enterprising executive, the successful troop leader, the established artist and the dedicated teacher and scientist.

I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center.

Beware the influence of the military-industrial complex.

By mutual respect, understanding and with good will we can find acceptable solutions to any problems which exist or may arise between us.

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