The Nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.

Physical strength can never permanently withstand the impact of spiritual force.

...Since 1775 the United States Marines have upheld a fine tradition of service to their country. They are doing so today. I am confident they will continue to do so.

We must recognize the fundamental rights of man. There can be no true national life in our democracy unless we give unqualified recognition to freedom of religious worship and freedom of education.

When peace has been broken anywhere, the peace of all countries is in danger.

We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.

Of course we believe these things. We believe in social security. We believe in work for the unemployed. We believe in saving homes. Cross our hearts and hope to die! We believe in all these things. But we do not like the way that the present administration is doing them. Just turn them over to us. We will do all of them, we will do more of them, we will do them better and, most important of all, the doing of them will not cost anybody anything!
