I could say to you, too, that my two colleagues in the Senate, Ken Keating and Jack Javits, have done as much as any two men in the whole Congress of the United States in this field.

And, so, the most important test, the sternest test to which you must put the two candidates for the Presidency and the Vice Presidency is this: Which of the two men can best lead the United States and the free world and keep the peace…

The biggest thrill I ever got, except for the day, of course, that Pat said, 'Yes.'

We found a quarter of a million people on the streets, and they were cheering and they were shouting and they were throwing bouquets into our cars.

We're standing for what's right.

Whom can you believe? Where should you go?

America must strengthen her ideals - strengthen her appeal around the world.

I know this country; I have seen the world.
