Too much and too long, we seem to have surrendered community excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things.

I think there is an obligation on the part of all of us to stay informed and aware.

I'm tired of chasing people.

We develop the kind of citizens we deserve.

You knew that what is given or granted can be taken away, that what is begged can be refused; but that what is earned is kept.

Men and women with freed minds may often be mistaken, but they are seldom fooled. They may be influenced, but they cannot be intimidated. They may be perplexed, but they will never be lost.

All do not develop in the same manner, or at the same pace. Nations, like men, often march to the beat of different drummers, and the precise solutions of the United States can neither be dictated nor transplanted to others. What is important is that all nations must march toward increasing freedom; toward justice for all; toward a society strong and flexible enough to meet the demands of all its own people, and a world of immense and dizzying change.
