men thinking differences
I think we Americans tend to put too high a price on unanimity, as if there were something dangerous and illegitimate about honest differences of opinion honestly expressed by honest men.
science thinking care
We must care to think about the unthinkable things, because when things become unthinkable, thinking stops and action becomes mindless.
thinking world possibility
We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world.
thinking america faults
I do not think it is "selling America short" when we ask a great deal of her; on the contrary, it is those who ask nothing, those who see no fault, who are really selling America short!
positive-thinking thinking dare
We must dare to think unthinkable thoughts.
cannot cultural economic fear society survive vietnamese
What they fear, I think rightly, is that traditional Vietnamese society cannot survive the American economic and cultural impact.
freedom democracy dissent
In a democracy, dissent is an act of faith.
unions done excuse
The Soviet Union has indeed been our greatest menace, not so much because of what it has done, but because of the excuses it has provided us for our failures.
order law essentials
Law is the essential foundation of stability and order both within societies and in international relations.
war government vietnam
The biggest lesson I learned from Vietnam is not to trust [our own] government statements.
strong powerful moving
Education is a slow-moving but powerful force. It may not be fast enough or strong enough to save us from catastrophe, but it is the strongest force available for that purpose and in its proper place, therefore, is not at the periphery, but at the center of international relations.
mean ideas assuming
Once imbued with the idea of a mission, a great nation easily assumes that it has the means as well as the duty to do God's work.
strong airplane israel
Israel's shooting down of a civilian airplane and then the killing of 107 innocent peopel aboard, and their raid into neutral Lebanon are very dangerous developments. There's only one way I can see to stop it...is for the United States to take a very strong stand that this has to be settled...politically settled.
israel united-states doe
Well, we have the leverage in the sense that we supply all the wherewithal...or a major part of the wherewithal to finance or to pay for everything Israel does. We don't have any leverage in the sense that Israel controls the Senate. The Senate is at least...a subservient, in my opinion, much too much. We should be more concerned about the United States' interest, rather than doing the bidding of Israel. This is a most unusual development.
