I stand for full employment in the United States.

I am not trying to run America down; I am trying to build America up.

I appreciate your help in this campaign.

Therefore, we are all united in support of our country.

I want an America that is not 'first, if,' not 'first, but,' not 'first, when,' not 'first, maybe,' but 'first,' period.

I am a candidate for the office of the Presidency, and I run for the office with a full recognition that the United States moves through very difficult times.

So I hope that you feel as I feel, that in helping this campaign, you also contribute not merely as Democrats or Republicans to a campaign, but in fulfilling a responsibility which goes with citizenship.

I think its potential is unlimited.

Mr. Khrushchev said that the United States is a sick and dying and faltering horse. I don't believe it.

I am very grateful for the Governor's generous remarks, and his kind analogy with Mr. Perry.

I think in 1960 the cause of all mankind is the cause of America.

This is an important campaign and it does involve us all greatly.

My invitation to you is to join in building the prestige of the United States, in recognizing that we stand today on the razor edge of decision, and so does the world, and recognizing that if we succeed, we succeed not only for ourselves…

My program is brief: that is to strengthen this country.

I supported title 3 in 1957, and in 1960, and we were defeated in both cases.

Are we going to move forward or are we going to stand still?

The next 10, 15, or 20 years may determine the outcome.

I think the job of the next President will be more difficult than any President since Abraham Lincoln.

I think our future can be assured, but I think we have a responsibility to ourselves and to those who look to us to move in this country.

I think the spirit of this country is to give.

We Democrats have believed at all times and at all places in using the Federal Government to help people.

Our generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny just as much as the generation of 1933 whom Franklin Roosevelt addressed in his inaugural speech.

We have a Democratic Congress. I hope we are going to have a Democratic Executive.

I come here tonight as the Democratic candidate for the office of the Presidency in a difficult and somber time in the life of our country.

I would not permit Mr. Nixon to escape from his party, and I wish to be identified with mine.
