If communist unions ever gain a position to exercise influence in the transport lanes of the world, the free world will have suffered a staggering blow.

The sharpest criticism often goes hand in hand with the deepest idealism and love of country.

We can master change not though force or fear, but only though the free work of an understanding mind, though an openness to new knowledge and fresh outlooks, which can only strengthen the most fragile and most powerful of human gifts: the gift of reason.

We develop the kind of citizens we deserve.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

Together, we can make ourselves a nation that spends more on books than on bombs, more on hospitals than the terrible tools of war, more on decent houses than military aircraft.

A life without criticism is not worth living.
