heart eye white
Directly down the lawn and accross the Ellipse from the White House are those ordered, classic lines of the Jefferson Memorial and the eyes of the 19-foot statue that gaze directly into the White House, a reminder to any of us who might occupy that mansion of the quality of mind and generosity of heart that once abided there and has been so rarely seen there again.
strong war america
America has never gotten in a war because we were too strong.
kings men white-man
Abraham Lincoln freed the black man. In many ways, Dr. King freed the white man. How did he accomplish this tremendous feat? Where others - white and black - preached hatred, he taught the principles of love and nonviolence.
past america legacy
By emphasizing the importance of a common language, we safeguard a proud legacy and help to ensure that America's future will be as great as her past.
meaningful adventure fighting
We are not a warlike people. Nor is our history filled with tales of aggressive adventures and imperialism, which might come as a shock to some of the placard painters in our modern demonstrations. The lesson of Vietnam, I think, should be that never again will young Americans be asked to fight and possibly die for a cause unless that cause is so meaningful that we, as a nation, pledge our full resources to achieve victory as quickly as possible.
prayer winning land
The First Continental Congress made its first act a prayer, the beginning of a great tradition. We have then a lesson from the founders of our land. That lesson is clear: That in the winning of freedom and in the living of life, the first step is prayer.
honesty degrees
There are no degrees of honesty.
conservative
Everyone is a liberal until they have something to conserve. Then they become a conservative.
art lying humanity
The arts and humanities teach us who we are and what we can be. They lie at the very core of the culture of which we're a part.
dream war heart
I think all of us are agreed that war is probably man's greatest stupidity and I think peace is the dream that lives in the heart of everyone wherever he may be in the world, but unfortunately, unlike a family quarrel, it doesn't take two to make a war. It only takes one, unless the other one is prepared to surrender at the first hint of force.
moving destiny justice
For the sake of peace and justice, let us move toward a world in which all people are at last free to determine their own destiny.
quests purpose preservation
There can be no greater good than the quest for peace, and no finer purpose than the preservation of freedom.
dreamer
There are worse things to be called than a dreamer.
missing looks cost
If we miss this chance to make a fresh start, we may look back on this moment from some later vantage point and realize how much that failure cost us all.
