Art is a nation's most precious heritage. For it is in our works of art that we reveal to ourselves and to others the inner vision which guides us as a nation. And where there is no vision, the people perish.

All I have I would have given gladly not to be standing here today.

I know - from personal experience - that abiding values and abundant visions are learned in the homes of our people.

I seldom think of politics more than eighteen hours a day.

I may not worry as much as Prime Minister Eshkol does about Israel, but I worry as deeply.

When the family collapses, it is the children that are usually damaged. When it happens on a massive scale, the community itself is crippled.

One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.
