The great dynamic success of capitalism had given us a powerful weapon in our battle against Communism-money.

Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit.

We meant to change a nation, and instead, we changed a world.

Let me make our goal in this program very clear: jobs, jobs, jobs, and more jobs. Our policy has been and will continue to be: What is good for the American worker is good for America.

Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement.

Without God, democracy cannot and will not long endure.

We have not inherited an easy world. If developments like the Industrial revolution, which began in England, and the gifts of science and technology have made life much easier for us, they have also made it more dangerous. There are threats now to our freedom, indeed to our very existence, that other generations could never even have imagined. There is first the threat of global war. No president, no Congress, no prime minister, no parliament can spend a day entirely free of this threat. If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.
