Our experience with disasters in 1969 clearly demonstrated the need for expanded insurance coverage for property owners.

I am confident that our strengthened program will improve cooperation with State and local governments and with private and voluntary organizations.

I recommend that the Congress enact a property tax revenue maintenance plan.

Candidates need charity, and not just from the heart.

They give a spur of competition to the public schools-through which educational innovations come; both systems benefit, and progress results.

The panel is charged with studying and evaluating the problems that confront the non-public elementary and secondary schools, of reporting on the nature of the crisis they confront, and of making positive recommendations to me for action…

I urge the panel members to keep two considerations in mind.

They offer a wider range of possibilities for educational experimentation and special opportunities, especially for Spanish-speaking Americans and black Americans.

Should any single school system--public or private--ever acquire a complete monopoly over the education of our children, the result would neither be good for that school system nor good for the country.

Our purpose here is not to aid religion in particular, but to promote diversity in education within the Constitution.

No government can be indifferent to the potential collapse of such schools.

I have heard many services in my life, but I have never heard a sermon that was more eloquent, more appropriate, and timely for not only this event, this day, but for this period in the history of this world.

I think more people prayed last week than perhaps have prayed in many years in this country.

Let us also remember that there are people all over this land who, in their daily lives, face troubles that in their own way perhaps may be as great.

I am going to put some of the finishing touches on my Vietnam speech this afternoon on the plane, and tomorrow.

It was a great triumph for the spirit of America.

I invited him to speak at the White House and to bring the choir with him.

Let us remember that the future will be better if we continue that faith, develop it in great churches like this, Sunday after Sunday, day after day.

It was really one of the most moving and meaningful religious services I have attended, and I have attended a great number of very fine services.

It means that wherever people live in this world, wherever they are, that they value human life and they thought of these three men not as Americans, but as human beings, courageous men, and they wanted them to be saved.

Adversity brings out the character of a man.

Greatness comes not simply in triumph but in adversity.
