Coming to grips with the reality that our planet is not the only one harboring intelligent life the universe.

The American people want their government to act, and not merely to talk, whenever and wherever there is a threat to world peace.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.

Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle.

If I went to work in a factory the first thing I'd do is join a union.

Taxes are paid in the sweat of every man who labors. If those taxes are excessive, they are reflected in idle factories, in tax-sold farms, and in hordes of hungry people, tramping the streets and seeking jobs in vain. Our workers may never see a tax bill, but they pay. They pay in deductions from wages, in increased cost of what they buy, or - as now - in broad unemployment throughout the land.

The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the goverment.
