 Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts. It's what you do with what you have left.

 People in places many of us never heard of, whose names we can't pronounce or even spell, are speaking up for themselves. They speak in languages we once classified as ''exotic'' but whose mastery is now essential for our diplomats and businessmen. But what they say is very much the same the world over. They want a decent standard of living. They want human dignity and a voice in their own futures. They want their children to grow up strong and healthy and free.

 Profit and morality are a hard combination to beat.

 Propaganda, to be effective, must be believed. To be believed, it must be credible. To be credible, it must be true.

 The difference between hearsay and prophecy is often one of sequence. Hearsay often turns out to have been prophecy.

 The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.

 The great challenge which faces us is to assure that, in our society of big-ness, we do not strangle the voice of creativity, that the rules of the game do not come to overshadow its purpose, that the grand orchestration of society leaves ample room for the man who marches to the music of another drummer.

 The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

 The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.

 The heroes of the world community are not those who withdraw when difficulties ensue, not those who can envision neither the prospect of success nor the consequence of failure -- but those who stand the heat of battle, the fight for world peace through the United Nations.

 The impersonal hand of government can never replace the helping hand of a neighbor.

 The President is the people's lobbyist.

 The pursuit of peace resembles the building of a great cathedral. It is the work of a generation. In concept it requires a master-architect; in execution, the labors of many.

 The right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.

 The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.
