I do not want to see the Republican party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny-fear, ignorance, bigotry and smear.

I believe that in our constant search for security we can never gain any peace of mind until we secure our own soul.

Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk.

And this I do believe above all, especially in times of greater discouragement, that I must BELIEVE-that I must believe in my fellow people-that I must believe in myself-that I must believe in God-if life is to have any meaning.

My basic rule is to speak slowly and simply so that my audience has an opportunity to follow and think about what I am saying.

We are Republicans. But we are Americans first. It is as Americans that we express our concern with the growing confusion that threatens the security and stability of our country.

Freedom unexercised may be freedom forfeited. The preservation of freedom is in the hands of the people themselves - not of the government.
