There's an old saying that victory has a hundred fathers and defeat is an orphan.... I'm the responsible officer of the Government.

I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it.

There is an old saying that the course of civilization is a race between catastrophe and education. In a democracy such as ours, we must make sure that education wins the race.

Our requirements for world leadership, our hopes for economic growth, and the demands of citizenship itself in an era such as this all require the maximum development of every young American's capacity. The human mind is our fundamental resource.

Every president has taken comfort and courage when told...that the Lord "will be with thee. He will not fail thee nor forsake thee. Fear not-neither be thou dismayed."
