In America today, we are nearer a final triumph over poverty than is any other land.

We have not yet reached the goal but.. we shall soon, with the help of God, be in sight of the day when poverty shall be banished from this nation.

Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.

We do not need to burn down the house to kill the rats.

Peace is not made at the council table or by treaties, but in the hearts of men.
