They believed us when we said that is what we are intending to implement, and they are going to stay with us while we do it.

What I feel tonight is not personal pride or elation; it is a deep satisfaction that our party has served its country so well that the people have endorsed it for the fifth consecutive time.

I am just as sure as I stand here that the people are with us in our efforts to implement the Democratic platform of 1948.

If I remember correctly, I stood right here on the 19th of February 1948, and told you that you were looking at the next President.

We will not be deceived by their propaganda.

I can't tell you how very much I appreciate this privilege.

Before you offer to bury a good Democrat, you better be sure he is dead.

I think it is the greatest political party in the history of the world.

I am very fond of good music, and I think Mr. Tucker has one of the loveliest voices I ever listened and I have heard a great many of them.

I am most happy, most happy, to have together all the September Democrats, and the October Democrats--and the Monday Democrats, and the Tuesday Democrats, and the Wednesday Democrats!

I thought we had a perfect toastmaster, or presiding officer, for this occasion in Wilson Wyatt.

He is now the Vice President.

This one-sided barrage of propaganda seems overwhelming at first.

As Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, I desire that Army Commands throughout the Nation mark the designated day with appropriate ceremonies

This is right where I expected to be.

Then came along an old man from Tennessee, and he took a hickory stick and he put it into practice.

My first effort at a political speech would not be printable--or quotable.

I am sorry to have disappointed them!
