 We don't propose to sit here in our rocking chair with our hands folded and let the Communists set up any government in the Western Hemisphere

 We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. It is time now to write the next chapter-and to write it in the books of law.

 We have the opportunity to move not only toward the rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the Great Society.

 We must open the doors of opportunity.

 We often say how impressive power is. But I do not find it impressive at all. The guns and the bombs, the rockets and the warships, are all symbols of human failure. They are necessary symbols that protect what we cherish.

 What convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument you're advancing. If you don't you're as good as dead. The other person will sense that something isn't there, and no chain of reasoning, no matter how logical or elegant or brilliant, will win your case for you.

 What we won when all of our people united must not be lost in suspicion and distrust and selfishness and politics. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as president.

 When I was young, poverty was so common that we didn't know it had a name.

 When the burdens of the presidency seem unusually heavy, I always remind myself it could be worse. I could be a mayor.

 When things haven't gone well for you, call in a secretary or a staff man and chew him out. You will sleep better and they will appreciate the attention.

 Where legitimate opportunities are closed, illegitimate opportunities are seized. Whatever opens opportunity and hope will help to prevent crime and foster responsibility.

 While you're saving your face, you're losing your ass.

 You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered.

 You've got to work things out in the cloakroom, and when you've got them worked out, you can debate a little before you vote.
