In the last years people around the world have come to the conclusion that we are not the strongest power

The question we have to ask ourselves is: What kind of children, what kind of future men and women, are we raising in our new American homes?

All I can do as a candidate for the Presidency is to make a judgment on what this country must do.

I favor Federal aid to education.

The next 5 years are going to be decisive years in the life of our country.

This community depends upon industry.

American prestige, essential to our influence and our security, has declined these last 8 years even more sharply than we realized.

That is the issue which you have to decide.

A good education is the most valuable resource that you can pass on to your children.

Newspaper and network reports today, confirming the previously reported results of the latest USIA overseas survey, lead to three deeply disturbing conclusions

Western Germany has increased theirs 5 percent, the Soviet Union 7.5 to 8 percent.

This is an important question, because prestige is not popularity.

We are going to have to build in this country a strong and vital society that spreads its influence around the world.

If you are satisfied, if you feel happy about your life, if you feel our country is meeting its responsibilities, then you belong in Mr. Nixon's camp.

I still find it impossible to understand why Mr. Nixon wants to limit the debate to one subject where there are so many important problems facing the American people.

Mr. Nixon has sown the seeds of negation. Time after time, he has said 'No' to the American people.

I want the people of the world to wake up in the morning and wonder what the United States is doing, not what Mr. Khrushchev is doing.

It is more than a contest between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. It is a contest between the contented and the concerned, between those who wish to stand still and those who wish to move ahead.

But the Bible tells us to judge a tree by its fruits. For 'what is past is prologue'...

There go my people. I must find out where they are going so I can lead them.

On all the great issues which disturb our country, minimum wage, social security, unemployment compensation, houses, roads, schools, hospitals, our parties have divided and we have divided, and the great questions for the 1960's are how is…

It does not represent a drain on the Treasury of $2 billion, because it is paid for on the way.

On November 8, the American people will say 'No' to Mr. Nixon.

We cannot predict what new problems will come across our desks in the next 4 years.

Mr. Nixon's message is another indication of the fact that he would rather debate with mimeograph machines and telegrams than face to face.
