war forgiving criminals
Let's forgive the Nazi war criminals.
life thinking years
I think the major event that shaped my life was being a Naval aviator. I got my commission and wings at 18 years old, and then I went into combat at 19. And I think, as I look back on it, that whole experience probably shaped my life more than any incident, or any event.
anti-semitism
I hope I stand for antibigotry, anti-Semitism, antiracism. This is what drives me.
proud odessa texan
At Odessa we became Texans, and proud of it.
thinking games work-out
American business can out-think, out-work, out-perform any nation in the world. But we can't beat the competition if we don't get in the ball game.
friendship thinking years
It's family, and it's faith, and it's friends, and it's not the glamour of the Presidency, or the wonder of going to receive the Nobel Prize. All those are important, of course. But maybe it's just that I'm 71 years old now. It's family, and it's faith, and it's friends. I would tell them that. Don't forget that. In your brilliance, don't turn your back on your friends. Don't think you're entitled to something, you're smarter than the next guy.
air environmental world
Every American expects and deserves clean air, and then we act on that belief, then we will set an example for the rest of the world to follow.
taken fog doors
A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. There is new ground to be broken, and new action to be taken. There are times when the future seems thick as a fog; you sit and wait, hoping the mists will lift and reveal the right path. But this is a time when the future seems a door you can walk right through into a room called tomorrow.
attitude men soul
A President is neither prince nor pope, and I don't seek a window on men's souls. In fact, I yearn for a greater tolerance, an easy-goingness about each other's attitudes and way of life.
country memories father
I have just repeated word for word the oath taken by George Washington 200 years ago, and the Bible on which I placed my hand is the Bible on which he placed his. It is right that the memory of Washington be with us today, not only because this is our Bicentennial Inauguration, but because Washington remains the Father of our Country.
dream struggle ideas
Our nation is the enduring dream of every immigrant who ever set foot on these shores, and the millions still struggling to be free. This nation, this idea called America, was and always will be a new world -- our new world.
feels asks
Never ask anyone over 70 how they feel. They'll tell you.
intellectual
I'm not what you call your basic intellectual.
happiness thinking defeat
I think in defeat you grope for things that are happy, and it's hard.
