Never, never waste a minute on regret. It's a waste of time.

Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction.

Always be sincere, even if you don't mean it.

We must earn the peace we seek just as we earned victory in the war, not by wishful thinking but by realistic effort. At no time in our history has unity among our people been so vital as it is at the present time. Unity of purpose, unity of effort, and unity of spirit are essential to accomplish the task before us.

Millions of our citizens do not now have a full measure of opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health. Millions do not now have protection or security against the economic effects of sickness. The time has arrived for action to help them attain that opportunity and that protection.

We all have to recognise - no matter how great our strength - that we must deny ourselves the licence to do always as we please.

Being a president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or he is swallowed.
