Patriotism

I want you to join me in serving this country and moving this country forward.

Our stars and our ideal is the welfare of our country and the welfare of freedom.

I run with the idea not of downgrading our country, because my confidence in this country is unlimited.

The cause of all mankind is the cause of America, and I am confident we are going to meet our responsibilities.

The new frontier of which I speak does not consist of the things which we promise we will do for you; it consists of the things which you can do for your country.

I come today not as a citizen of Massachusetts, but as a fellow American.

We hold the view that while this is a great country, we can do better; while this is a great State, we can do better; while this is a powerful country, it can be stronger.

My feeling is that this is a great country, but I think it can be a greater country.

This is a great country, but I think we can make it a greater country.

We are fortunate in having, in the United States, a number of Chinese-American communities, and I take this occasion to commend them for their devotion and patriotism.

It is only stating a fact to say that their patriotism has been demonstrated so thoroughly, in these ways, that the United States as a whole owes them recognition.

I think this country is a great country, but I think we can do a better job.

Those things which must be done can be done by this country.

It is a great country, but I think we can do better.

I don't want a second-rate America.

We must be willing to devote our national energies to demonstrating in every form of human endeavor we are second to none, that we are first and will continue to be first regardless of what challenges may be hurled against us.

To face those facts is not disloyal, as some have implied - it is the highest type of loyalty.

We shall have heartened the patriots who are dedicated to the independence of their nations.
