In The Councils Of Government, We Must Guard Against The Acquisition Of Unwarranted Influence, Whether Sought Or Unsought, By The Military Industrial Complex. The Potential For The Disastrous Rise Of Misplaced Power Exists And Will Persist. We Must Never Let The Weight Of This Combination Endanger Our Liberties Or Democratic Processes. We Should Take Nothing For Granted. Only An Alert And Knowledgeable Citizenry Can Compel The Proper Meshing Of The Huge Industrial And Military Machinery Of Defense With Our Peaceful Methods And Goals, So That Security And Liberty May Prosper Together.

I Had Been Conscious A Feeling Of Depression And So I Voiced To [secretary Of War Stimson] My Grave Misgivings, First On The Basis Of My Belief That Japan Was Already Defeated And That Dropping The Bomb Was Completely Unnecessary, And Secondly Because I Thought That Our Country Should Avoid Shocking World Opinion By The Use Of A Weapon Whose Employment Was, I Thought, No Longer Mandatory As A Measure To Save American Lives. It Was My Belief That Japan Was, At This Very Moment, Seeking A Way To Surrender With A Minimum Loss Of 'face.'

In Order To Be A Leader A Man Must Have Followers. And To Have Followers, A Man Must Have Their Confidence. Hence, The Supreme Quality For A Leader Is Unquestionably Integrity. Without It, No Real Success Is Possible, No Matter Whether It Is On A Section Gang, A Football Field, In An Army, Or In An Office. If A Man's Associates Find Him Guilty Of Being Phony, If They Find That He Lacks Forthright Integrity, He Will Fail. His Teachings And Actions Must Square With Each Other. The First Great Need, Therefore, Is Integrity And High Purpose.
