American liberty is a religion. It is a thing of the spirit.

In no direction that we turn do we find ease or comfort. If we are honest and if we have the will to win we find only danger, hard work and iron resolution.

I believe in America because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.

I am not interested in the support of anybody who stands for any form of prejudice as to anybody's race or religion. . . . I have no place in my philosophy for such beliefs.

It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.

There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.

Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.
