The science of weapons and war has made us all one world and one human race with one common destiny.

In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there.

The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.

Peace need not be impracticable, and war need not be inevitable.

Ask not what your community can do for you; ask what your community can not do for anyone else.

Let us examine our attitude toward peace itself. Too many of us think it is impossible. Too many think it unreal. But that is a dangerous, defeatist belief. It leads to the conclusion that war is inevitable, that mankind is doomed, that we are gripped by forces we cannot control. We need not accept that view. Our problems are manmade; therefore they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as be wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.

Remember that our nation's first great leaders were also our first great scholars.
