[proudbluestater]

"Those who make peaceful revolutions impossible will make violent revolutions inevitable."

"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

"A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers."

"Let our patriotism be reflected in the creation of confidence in one another, rather than in crusades of suspicion. Let us prove we think our country great, by striving to make it greater."

"We shall be judged more by what we do at home than what we preach abroad."

"With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love."

"It is our task in our time and in our generation to hand down undiminished to those who come after us, as was handed down to us by those who went before, the natural wealth and beauty which is ours."

"Economic growth without social progress lets the great majority of the people remain in poverty, while a privleged few reap the benefits of rising abundance."

"Diplomacy and defense are not substitutes for one another. Either alone will fail."
