People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory.

There is no group in America that can withstand the force of an aroused public opinion.

Among American citizens, there should be no forgotten men and no forgotten races.

A point has been reached where the peoples of the Americas must take cognizance of growing ill-will, of marked trends toward aggression, of increasing armaments, of shortening tempers--a situation which has in it many of the elements that lead to the tragedy of general war.... Peace is threatened by those who seek selfish power.

To some generations much is given. Of other generations, much is expected.

We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations far away. We have learned that we must live as men, not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger.

When a country is at war we want Congressmen, regardless of party, to back up the government of the United States.
