Simple Fairness Dictates That Government Must Not

We're Approaching The End Of A Bloody Century Plagued By A Terrible Political Invention, Totalitarianism. Optimism Comes Less Easily Today, Not Because Democracy Is Less Vigorous, But Because Democracy's Enemies Have Refined Their Instruments Of Repression.

Regimes Planted By Bayonets Do Not Take Root... Our Military Strength Is A Prerequisite To Peace, But Let It Be Clear We Maintain This Strength In The Hope It Will Never Be Used, For The Ultimate Determinant In The Struggle That's Now Going On In The World Will Not Be Bombs And Rockets But A Test Of Wills And Ideas, A Trial Of Spiritual Resolve, The Values We Hold, The Beliefs We Cherish, The Ideals To Which We Are Dedicated.

America's Foreign Policy Supports Freedom, Democracy, And Human Dignity For All Mankind, And We Make No Apologies For It. The Opportunity Society That We Want For Ourselves We Also Want For Others, Not Because We're Imposing Our System On Others But Because Those Opportunities Belong To All People As God-given Birthrights And Because By Promoting Democracy And Economic Opportunity We Make Peace More Secure.

God, The Source Of All Knowledge, Should Never Have Been Expelled From Our Children's Classrooms.

We're Entering Our Third Century Now, But It's Wrong To Judge Our Nation By Its Years. The Calendar Can't Measure America Because We Were Meant To Be An Endless Experiment In Freedom, With No Limits To Our Reaches, No Boundaries To What We Can Do, No End Point To Our Hopes.
