The United States should not under any circumstances throw away our gun until we are sure the rest of the world cannot arm against us.

The successful man has enthusiasm. Good work is never done in cold blood; heat is needed for forge anything. Every great achievement is the story of a flaming heart.

This is the first time in my experience... that I ever heard of a Senator trying to discredit his own Government before the world.... Your telegram is not only not true and an insolent approach to a situation that should have been worked out between man and man - but it shows conclusively that you are not even fit to have a hand in the operation of the Government of the United States.

America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.

There is no gratitude for things past. Gratitude is always for what you're going to do for people in the future.
