It is immoral to see evil and not act on it.

I believe that in this generation those with the courage to enter the conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the world.

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.

Our attitude towards immigration reflects our faith in the American ideal. We have always believed it possible for men and women who start at the bottom to rise as far as the talent and energy allow. Neither race nor place of birth should affect their chances.

Democracy is no easy form of government. Few nations have been able to sustain it.
