I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute - where no Catholic prelate would tell the president (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishoners for whom to vote - where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference - and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the president who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.

The new and terrible dangers which man has created can only be controlled by man.

If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

But however close we sometimes seem to that dark and final abyss, let no man of peace and freedom despair. For he does not stand alone.

Anyone who is honestly seeking a job and can't find it, deserves the attention of the United States government, and the people.

No man who enters upon the office to which I have succeeded can fail to recognize how every president of the United States has placed special reliance upon his faith in God.

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