Richard Nixon: “We dare not waste it; we dare not misapply it; we dare not be satisfied with standards of mediocrity.”

This house has a great heart, and that heart comes from those who serve.

As a result of these efforts, I am confident that the world is a safer place today, not only for the people of America but for the people of all nations, and that all of our children have a better chance than before of living in peace…

I have done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge.

May God's grace be with you in all the days ahead.
