Too often in recent history liberal governments have been wrecked on rocks of loose fiscal policy.

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....

In a democratic nation, power must be linked with responsibility, and obliged to defend and justify itself within the framework of the general good.

I suggest a nationwide reading of the Holy Scriptures during the period from Thanksgiving Day to Christmas.

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us.

A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted-in the air. A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs, who, however, has never learned to walk forward. A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards. A liberal is a man who uses his legs and hands at the behest of his head.
