I want every American to be free to stand up for his rights, even if sometimes he has to sit down for them.

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics towards which we can be indifferent.

Never have the nations of the world had so much to lose, or so much to gain. Together we shall save our planet, or together we shall perish in its flames.

I hope that no American will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant.

Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.

Struggle for freedom. Where people are denied the right of choice, recourse to such struggle is the only means of achieving their liberties.
