I believe that the businessman's first concern is that of every other citizen of the United States - the security, progress, and well-being of our country.

no amount of oratory, no extravagant claims or vociferous braggadocio, no unjustified charges, can hide the harsh fact that behind the rhetoric, behind the soothing words and the confusing figures, American strength relative to that of the…

I want to make it clear that the United States is a great revolutionary country, that believes in the most extraordinary doctrine that man has ever put forward.

He says our prestige was never higher, that we have never been stronger, that the tide in world history is moving in our direction, and that if we continue our present policies, by 1965 and 1970, the United States will be secure and the…

Its brightest days are bound to come in the years of the 1960's and 1970's, and what I feel we have to do, and I say this after 14 years in the Congress, after serving in the Senate for 8 years with both of your Senators, in the House of…

Our ability to meet our commitments around the globe has been critically impaired by the failure to develop an airlift capacity sufficient to move our forces to developing trouble spots;

I therefore favor expansion of our foreign trade and private investments abroad.

And my only pledge to you is this: That if I am elected I will summon all the resources of this great and strong Republic to make the coming years the years when freedom grew strong and began to move ahead.

It is time we picked ourselves up and moved ourselves into the 1960's.

This country cannot afford in 1961, 4 more years of Republican leadership.

Words are not a substitute for strength.

I will not cut our present commitment to the cause of freedom anywhere in the world.

Above all, we must encourage the production of earnings and channeling them back into further productivity.

I could not believe that that is the world doctrine at this time.

I have the greatest confidence in this country.

Certainly it is not good for business to have two recessions within these past 7 years, as has been the case under the Republicans, or to have economic conditions so uncertain for a third time that many forecasters anticipate still another…

I wholly agree that, in addition to Federal leadership to control and prevent juvenile delinquency, we must have provision for day care centers for children whose mothers are unavailable during the day.

I believe that we are going to say 'Yes' to progress.

First, our monetary policy should be adapted to provide sufficient credit at reasonable interest rates.

Our position is one of certainty, that the future can belong to freedom, that this country can be secure, that we can turn the balance of power in our direction.

In my judgment the United States can meet any burden, can meet any challenge, can meet any responsibility, but it cannot possibly do so unless the President of the United States and the country moves to finish the unfinished business of…

Our fortunes as a nation depend, particularly because of the pressure of events as well as the provisions of the Constitution, on the good judgment, the vigor, the sense of precision, the sense of foresight - the historical sense of the…

I have never believed in retreating under fire.

I believe that we are going to choose in the 1960’s progress; that we are going to make the same decision in 1960 that we made in 1932.
