Throughout our history, We Americans have been willing to meet great challenges and do what is right when our destiny demanded it.

The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and the spread of civilization. The West will not contain Communism, it will transcend Communism. We will not bother to denounce it, we'll dismiss it as a sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages are even now being written.

A state is nothing more than a reflection of its citizens; the more decent the citizens, the more decent the state.
