government welfare function
I thought the function of the government was to promote the general welfare, not to provide it.
country pluralism-is presidential
We establish no religion in this country. We command no worship. We mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are and must remain separate.
suicide care simply-love
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.
war party cold
I didn't leave the Democratic party; the Democratic party left me.
men evil weapons
Terrorism is the preferred weapon of weak and evil men.
religious wall father
When our Founding Fathers passed the First Amendment, they sought to protect churches from government interference. They never intended to construct a wall of hostility between government and the concept of religious belief itself.
freedom people generations
Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again.
real thinking sides
We must be cautious in claiming God is on our side. I think the real question we must answer is, are we on His side?
strength peace evil
Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.
men differences profound
The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead or the next. It was the deep knowledge - and pray God we have not lost it - that there is a profound moral difference between the use of force for liberation and the use of force for conquest.
dream government people
What has happened to the dreams of the United Nations' founders? What has happened to the spirit which created the United Nations? The answer is clear: Governments got in the way of the dreams of the people.
religious believe liberty
I believe that the most essential element of our defense of freedom is our insistence on speaking out for the cause of religious liberty.
leadership strong war
Our policy is simple: We are not going to betray our friends, reward the enemies of freedom, or permit fear and retreat to become American policies. ... None of the four wars in my lifetime came about because we were too strong. It is weakness ... that invites adventurous adversaries to make mistaken judgments.
believe home gun
I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen for sporting, for hunting and so forth, or for home defense. But I do believe that an AK-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon or needed for defense of a home.
