I know all the bad things that happened in that war. I was in uniform four years myself.

There is no security, no safety, in the appeasement of evil.

We were told four years ago that 17 million people went to bed hungry each night. Well that was probably true. They were all on a diet.

I don't think any of us should forget that the security of America is our highest responsibility.

With all this talk about the supposed strain in relations [with the Soviet Union], there is an inference that somehow it is our fault. But we didn't kill Russian civilians by shooting down a civilian airplane. We didn't attempt to conquer an adjacent country to ours. We didn't walk out on negotiations and refuse to give a date for when we would resume.

... the moral equal of our Founding Fathers.

One hundred nations in the UN have not agreed with us on just about everything that's come before them, where we're involved, and it didn't upset my breakfast at all.
