I don't have too much time for fiction.

For the eight years I was president I never let my dream of a nuclear-free world fade from my mind.

We are going to put an end to the notion that the American taxpayer exists to fund the Federal Government.

We've been blessed with the opportunity to stand for something - for liberty and freedom and fairness. And these are things worth fighting for, worth devoting our lives to.

More than any gift or toy, ornament of tree, let us resolve that this Christmas shall be, like that first Christmas, a celebration of interior treasures.

The glory of this land has been its capacity for transcending the moral evils of our past. For example, the long struggle of minority citizens for equal rights, once a source of disunity and civil war, is now a point of pride for all Americans. We must never go back. There is no room for racism, anti-Semitism, or other forms of ethnic and racial hatred in this country.

Our moral imperative is to work with all our powers for that day when the children of the world grow up without the fear of nuclear war.
