Freedom & Duty always go hand in hand and if the free do not accept the duty of social responsibility, they will not long remain free.

The U.S. has no friends, only interests.

A peaceful world is a world in which differences are tolerated, and are not eliminated by violence.

A capacity to change is indispensable. Equally indispensable is the capacity to hold fast to that which is good.

The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities. Peace, no less than war, requires idealism and self-sacrifice and a righteous and dynamic faith.

Economic and military power can be developed under the spur of laws and appropriations. But moral power does not derive from any act of Congress. It depends on the relations of a people to their God. It is the churches to which we must look to develop the resources for the great moral offensive that is required to make human rights secure, and to win a just and lasting peace.

Our institutions of freedom will not survive unless they are constantly replenished by the faith that gave them birth.
