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

The complacent, the self-indulgent, the soft societies are about to be swept away with the debris of history. Only the strong, only the industrious, only the determined, only the courageous, only the visionary who determine the real nature of our struggle can possibly survive.

Economic growth without social progress lets the great majority of the people remain in poverty, while a privileged few reap the benefits of rising abundance.

The earth, the sea and air are the concern of every nation. And science, technology, and education can be the ally of every nation.

Our alliance is born, not of fear, but of hope. It is an alliance that advances what we are for, as well as opposes what we are against.

If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help.

Diplomacy and defense are not substitutes for one another. Either alone would fail.
