I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.

Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.

Every American ought to have the right to be treated as he would like to be treated, as one would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated.

I'm an idealist without illusions.

If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president's.

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it.

Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.

A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

Each Additional Item is $1.50 extra shipping.
