I believe in the greatness of my country.

These changes can be made only with you, if you help me, we'll do it together.

The continuing global proliferation of nuclear weapons is a dangerous and unacceptable barrier to world peace.

We have committed two-thirds of all of our federal energy research and development funds to atomic power.

President Ford has seriously neglected this country's obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

We must not use the difficulty of the nuclear proliferation problem as an excuse to justify timidity on the part of the United States in standing up for the goal of world peace through limitation on the proliferation of nuclear weapons…

Any country possessing a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant can recover the plutonium needed to make an atomic bomb from the spent fuel rods of an atomic power reactor.

I think America can do better.

I intend, with your help to change them.

Leadership must be derived not from an imperialistic attitude toward the Presidency, but from a constant realization of the source of the leader's strength.

Ours is a government, ours is a nation that requires strong leadership in the White House.

The Republicans have managed for the past eight years to give us both rising unemployment rates and rising inflation.

My political support in the primaries, my strength if I become President, will be derived directly from the people.

We prefer a minimum of secrecy in government and a maximum of privacy in our own lives.

I think it's time for Democratic leadership that can enact economic policies that put people ahead of the special interests.

This is not the kind of nation that we had.

We need to decrease the influence of lobbyists and special interest groups.

In the absence of that leadership, there is no leadership.
