- "The times are too grave, the challenge too urgent, and the stakes too high to permit the customary passions of political debate. We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future."
- "A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers." #PatriotDay
- "Today the eyes of all people are truly upon us--and our governments, in every branch, at every level, national, state and local, must be as a city upon a hill--constructed and inhabited by men aware of their great trust and their great responsibilities."
- "We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future."
- "The hour of decision has arrived. We cannot afford to 'wait and see what happens,' while the tide of events sweeps over and beyond us. We must use time as a tool, not as a couch."
- "If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."
- "For uncounted millions, Christmas expresses the deepest hopes for a world of peace where love rather than mistrust will flourish between neighbors."
