I've Spoken Of The Shining City All My Political Life, But I Don't Know If I Ever Quite Communicated What I Saw When I Said It. But In My Mind It Was A Tall, Proud City Built On Rocks Stronger Than Oceans, Windswept, God-blessed, And Teeming With People Of All Kinds Living In Harmony And Peace; A City With Free Ports That Hummed With Commerce And Creativity. And If There Had To Be City Walls, The Walls Had Doors And The Doors Were Open To Anyone With The Will And Heart To Get There. That's How I Saw It, And See It Still.

We Must Remove Government's Smothering Hand From Where It Does Harm; We Must Seek To Revitalize The Proper Functions Of Government. We Do These Things To Set Loose Again The Energy And The Ingenuity Of The American People. We Do These Things To Reinvigorate Those Social And Economic Institutions Which Serve As A Buffer And A Bridge Between The Individual And The State - And Which Remain The Real Source Of Our Progress As A People.

Cannot Swords Be Turned To Plowshares? Can We And All Nations Not Live In Peace? In Our Obsession With Antagonisms Of The Moment, We Often Forget How Much Unites All The Members Of Humanity. Perhaps We Need Some Outside, Universal Threat To Make Us Recognize This Common Bond. I Occasionally Think How Quickly Our Differences Worldwide Would Vanish If We Were Facing An Alien Threat From Outside This World. And Yet, I Ask You, Is Not An Alien Force Already Among Us? What Could Be More Alien To The Universal Aspirations Of Our Peoples Than War And The Threat Of War?

How Could An Actor Become President?

In This Present Crisis, Government Is Not The Solution To Our Problem; Government Is The Problem. From Time To Time We've Been Tempted To Believe That Society Has Become Too Complex To Be Managed By Self-rule, That Government By An Elite Group Is Superior To Government For, By, And Of The People. Well, If No One Among Us Is Capable Of Governing Himself, Then Who Among Us Has The Capacity To Govern Someone Else? All Of Us Together, In And Out Of Government, Must Bear The Burden.

The American Taxing Structure, The Purpose Of Which Was To Serve The People, Began Instead To Serve The Insatiable Appetite Of Government. If You Will Forgive Me, You Know Someone Has Once Likened Government To A Baby. It Is An Alimentary Canal With An Appetite At One End And No Sense Of Responsibility At The Other.

I Have Been One Who Believes That Abortion Is The Taking Of A Human Life . . . . The Fact That They Could Not Resolve The Issue Of When Life Begins Was A Finding In And Of Itself. If We Don't Know, Then Shouldn't We Morally Opt On The Side That It Is Life? If You Came Upon An Immobile Body And You Yourself Could Not Determine Whether It Was Dead Or Alive, I Think That You Would Decide To Consider It Alive Until Somebody Could Prove It Was Dead. You Wouldn't Get A Shovel And Start Covering It Up. And I Think We Should Do The Same Thing With Regard To Abortion.

The Declaration Of Independence And The Constitution Of These United States Are Covenants We Have Made Not Only With Ourselves, But With All Mankind.

We're Entering Our Third Century Now, But It's Wrong To Judge Our Nation By Its Years. The Calendar Can't Measure America Because We Were Meant To Be An Endless Experiment In Freedom, With No Limits To Our Reaches, No Boundaries To What We Can Do, No End Point To Our Hopes.

We In The United States, Above All, Must Remember That Lesson, For We Were Founded As A Nation Of Openness To People Of All Beliefs. And So We Must Remain. Our Very Unity Has Been Strengthened By Our Pluralism. 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. All Are Free To Believe Or Not Believe, All Are Free To Practice A Faith Or Not, And Those Who Believe Are Free, And Should Be Free, To Speak Of And Act On Their Belief.

Government Is Not The Answer To The Problem - It Is The Problem.

Deficits, As I've Often Said, Aren't Caused By Too Little Taxing, They're Caused By Too Much Spending. Presidents Can't Appropriate A Dollar Of Tax Payers Money, Only Congressmen Can; And Congress Is Susceptible To All Sorts Of Influences That Have Nothing To Do With Good Government.

You Can Achieve Anything In Politics Provided That You Let Someone Else Take The Credit.

Coersion, After All, Merely Captures Man. Freedom Captivates Him.

Some Years Ago A Top Ford Official Was Showing The Late Walter Reuther Through The Very Automates Plant In Cleveland, Ohio And He Said To Him Jokingly, "walter, You'll Have A Hard Time Collecting Union Dues From These Machines." And Walter Said, "you Are Going To Have More Trouble Trying To Sell Automobiles To Them." Both Of Them Let It Stop There. There Was A Logical Answer To That ... The Owners Of The Machines Could Buy Automobiles And If You Increase The Number Of Owners You Increase The Number Of Consumers.

If We Get The Federal Government Out Of The Classroom, Maybe We'll Get God Back In.

The Preservation Of Parks, Wilderness, And Wildlife Has Also Aided Liberty By Keeping Alive The 19th Century Sense Of Adventure And Awe With Which Our Forefathers Greeted The American West. Many Laws Protecting Environmental Quality Have Promoted Liberty By Securing Property Against The Destructive Trespass Of Pollution.

Only When The Human Spirit Is Allowed To Invent And Create, Only When Individuals Are Given A Personal Stake In Deciding Economic Policies And Benefiting From Their Success - Only Then Can Societies Remain Economically Alive, Dynamic, Prosperous, Progressive And Free.

America's Foreign Policy Supports Freedom, Democracy, And Human Dignity For All Mankind, And We Make No Apologies For It. The Opportunity Society That We Want For Ourselves We Also Want For Others, Not Because We're Imposing Our System On Others But Because Those Opportunities Belong To All People As God-given Birthrights And Because By Promoting Democracy And Economic Opportunity We Make Peace More Secure.

The Size Of The Federal Budget Is Not An Appropriate Barometer Of Social Conscience Or Charitable Concern.

Israel Exists; It Has A Right To Exist In Peace Behind Secure And Defensible Borders; And It Has A Right To Demand Of Its Neighbors That They Recognize Those Facts. I Have Personally Followed And Supported Israel's Heroic Struggle For Survival, Ever Since The Founding Of The State Of Israel 34 Years Ago. In The Pre-1967 Borders Israel Was Barely 10 Miles Wide At Its Narrowest Point. The Bulk Of Israel's Population Lived Within Artillery Range Of Hostile Arab Armies. I Am Not About To Ask Israel To Live That Way Again.

I Just Wanted To Speak To You About Something From The Internal Revenue Code.

One Thing Is Certain In This Hungry World; No Regulation Or Law Should Be Allowed If It Results In Crops Rotting In The Field For Lack Of Harvesters.

Let Us Be Sure That Those Who Come After Will Say Of Us In Our Time, That In Our Time We Did Everything That Could Be Done. We Finished The Race; We Kept Them Free; We Kept The Faith.

At The Root Of Everything That We’re Trying To Accomplish Is The Belief That America Has A Mission.

If We Live Up To Those Moral Values, We Can Keep The American Dream Alive For Our Children And Our Grandchildren, And America Will Remain Mankind’s Best Hope.
