A country is as strong, really, as its citizens. And I think that mental and physical health - mental and physical vigor - go hand in hand.

A police state finds that it cannot command the grain to grow.

So let us begin anew - remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof

There is no city in the United States in which I can get a warmer welcome and fewer votes than Columbia, Ohio.

If there is one path above all others to war, it is the path of weakness and disunity.

One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free. They are not yet freed from the bonds of injustice. They are not yet freed from social and economic oppression. And this nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free.

The efforts of governments alone will never be enough. In the end, the people must choose and the people must help themselves.
