When I was a boy we didn't wake up with Vietnam and have Cyprus for lunch and the Congo for dinner.

Today our problem is not making miracles, but managing them.

If we quit Vietnam, tomorrow we'll be fighting in Hawaii, and next week we'll have to fight in San Francisco.

Justice requires us to remember that when any citizen denies his fellow, saying, 'His color is not mine,' or 'His beliefs are strange and different,' in that moment he betrays America, though his forebears created this nation.

It may be, it just may be, that life as we know it with its humanity is more unique than many have thought.

What we won when all of our people united just must not now be lost in suspicion, distrust, selfishness, and politics among any of our people. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.

I'm the only president you've got.
