A tired nation, said David Lloyd George, is a Tory nation, and the United States today cannot afford to be either tired or Tory.

I have said that control of arms is a mission that we undertake particularly for our children and our grandchildren and that they have no lobby in Washington.

Our deep spiritual confidence that this nation will survive the perils of today - which may well be with us for decades to come - compels us to invest in our nation's future, to consider and meet our obligations to our children and the numberless generations that will follow.

There is nothing, I think, more unfortunate than to have soft, chubby, fat-looking children who go to watch their school play basketball every Saturday and regard that as their weeks exercise.

The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways.

War and hunger and ignorance and despair know no religious barriers.

I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.
