In your lifetime and mine, there has never been a moment when America more needed its unity, or the world more needed a united America, than today.

Waste is wrong, wherever we permit it.

With some exceptions, price and wage decisions have been within the framework of the guideposts in the 1961-64 period.

Too often too many Americans conclude that our country has completed its course.

The guideposts provide the public with a means of judging whether the price and wage decisions made by business and labor are noninflationary and therefore consistent with the public interest.

For every man who labors, there must be respect for his rights and opportunity for his advancement in a growing America.

Since 1961 the wholesale price record in the United States is the best of any major country in the world.

We must provide for our children an opportunity for the best education that he or she can absorb, because in this technological age they are going to be at a great disadvantage if they have not accumulated all the information and knowledge…

THE PRICE-WAGE guideposts were developed under President Kennedy and reaffirmed by this administration to facilitate decisions by business and labor that help us preserve price stability.

There is nothing to be gained from rattling our rockets or bluffing with our bombs, because we know, and our adversaries know, that we have the might.

President Kennedy returned from Salt Lake City knowing, as he had not known before, that the people of America supported his efforts to make this world safer for all mankind.

That bipartisan foreign policy has kept us out of war and has kept us at peace, and has left your boy at home.

There is no room in America for trigger-happy threats in a world that is made dark by the shadow of nuclear catastrophe.

Every mother here is more concerned with peace and keeping her boys from going to war than she is with her own life.

The National Government, as a constructive partner in a creative federalism, should help restore fiscal balance and strengthen State and local governments by making available for their use some part of our great and growing Federal tax…

The Golden Rule says, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'

We are going to build a bigger and a better America.

Intensive study is now being given to methods of channeling Federal revenue to States and localities which will reinforce their independence while enlarging their capacity to serve their citizens.

This forward-looking State must have a forward-looking Senator, not a turn back one.

The American people really don't give a tinker--don't care about what I think about my opponent, and I doubt that they have much doubt about what he thinks about me.

This Nation is respected because we use our strength with restraint, and we use our responsibility with judgment.

The stakes in the 20th century are too high to be reckless.

At home we are going to continue the unprecedented prosperity of the last 45 months of the John F. Kennedy-Lyndon Johnson administration.
