Progress

You have shown here in Thailand that prosperity and progress in Asia are attainable goals.

I do think each of these steps that I have enumerated, each of these exchanges, will produce better understanding, and will finally lead us to a solution that is much to be preferred to the ones that have been practiced in times gone by.

I think that you will find that the historians will record that you lived in a period when we made greater progress in health, education, conservation, and development throughout the world than in any similar period in history.

Our policies are moving forward according to schedule.

The gains since 1954 must be steppingstones to greater fulfillment, not future reminders of what might have been.

We have made progress in these 35 years.

Now we must go forward.

Because of the actions we take this year, our children, I think, will come of age in a modern society.

This is a moment in which history and hope meet and move on from here as partners.

It is simply that there is no rest from the trials of freedom, there is no recalling what the pace of change has done to the map of this big world, there is no reducing our responsibilities while the challenges of progress will not permit…

It is that we cannot turn from the place of shared needs and expect either peace or progress to follow us.

We seek only one real monument, a monument with peace and progress for its base and justice for its pinnacle.

It is my greatest wish to someday stand here and sign another bill, one that is designed to bring progress and fulfillment to a Southeast Asia which is at peace with itself and also at peace with the rest of the world.

We can't leave it as we found it, but we can improve on what we have.

I report on a year of progress and fulfillment.

There are 2 1/2 million men and women in the Federal Government who work each day to advance the progress of this uncommon land.

We would feed the hungry and we would shelter the homeless, and we would do all of this as free men making liberty the companion of progress.

If we follow these commands in all our lands, then progress will fulfill our dreams.
