I, in my own mind, have always thought of America as a place in the divine scheme of things that was set aside as a promised land...Any person with the courage, with the desire to tear up their roots, to strive for freedom, to attempt and dare to live in a strange and foreign place, to travel halfway across the world was welcome here.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

I'm just a citizen temporarily in public service.

We can have peace and brotherly love by accepting our responsibility to preserve freedom.

Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will.

I believe now, as I alway have, that America's strength is in 'We the People.'

Government is not the answer to the problem - it IS the problem.
