The Purpose Of Life Is To Contribute

The Intolerant Man Will Not Rely On Persuasion, Or On The Worth Of The Idea. He Would Deny To Others The Very Freedom Of Opinion Or Of Dissent Which He So Stridently Demands For Himself. He Cannot Trust Democracy.

The Essential Humanity Of Men Can Be Protected And Preserved Only Where Government Must Answer, Not Just To The Wealthy, Not Just To Those Of A Particular Religion, Or A Particular Race, But To All Its People.

It Will Help Erase The Idea That Politics Is A Second-rate Profession And A Dirty Business.

Nations Around The World Look To Us For The Leadership Not Merely By Strength Of Arms But By Strength Of Our Convictions.

The Free Way Of Life Proposes Ends, But It Does Not Prescribe Means.
