We have become more and more not a nation of athletes but a nation of spectators.

The United States, as the world knows, will never start a war.

It is increasingly clear that no matter what party is in power, so long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough jobs or enough profits.

I see no magic in tax dollars which are sent to Washington and then returned. I abhor the waste and incompetence of large-scale federal bureaucracies in this administration as well as in others. I do not favor state compulsion when voluntary individual effort can do the job and do it well.

I see little more important to the future of our country and our civilization than the full recognition of the place of the artist.

Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.

The Jewish people, ever since David slew Goliath, have never considered youth as a barrier to leadership.
