We will establish a new system that makes high-quality health care available to every American in a dignified manner and at a price he can afford.

Never has so much military and economic and diplomatic power been used so ineffectively, and if after all of this time, and all of this sacrifice, and all of this support, there is still no end in sight, then I say the time has come for the American people to turn to new leadership not tied to the mistakes and policies of the past.

My concern today is not with the length of a person's hair but with his conduct.

What a strange creature man is that he fouls his own nest.

The lesson of all history warns us that we should negotiate only when our military superiority is so convincing that we can achieve our objective at the conference table, and deny the aggressor theirs.

As this long and difficult war ends, I would like to address a few special words to the American people: Your steadfastness in supporting our insistence on peace with honor has made peace with honor possible.

We don't owe the blacks a damn thing, anyway.
