Our interest in your example is greatly heightened by our own efforts to eliminate racial discrimination in the United States.

Your future is bright because you look to the future and because you want Macon and all of Georgia to be more prosperous tomorrow than it is today.

We will keep America on the tried and the tested and the trusted course of responsibility, and in this nuclear age, neither we nor the world can afford even a moment of recklessness, not even a breath of bluff or bluster.

For me, it was a passport out of poverty.

I think this is a generous thing for you to do, and very thoughtful.

A good offense--a vigorous program for sustaining prosperity--is our best defense against recession.

We are convinced that recessions are not inevitable, and sustained prosperity is our realistic objective.

As long as I am in a position to do so, I will try to contribute what I can to what all of you have envisioned as a most worthwhile and public project.

Thank you for this.

As a tenant farmer's son, I almost didn't get any college education, and I know how much difference a full education makes.

I will treasure it.

Almost a million boys and girls drop out of school each year, or they are pushed out by forces beyond their control.

The best way to avoid recessions is to maintain strong and steady forward momentum.

The first prospect is the conquest of outer space.

This Nation deserves and must have a capital city which is in the very front rank in respect for law by its citizens, and in safety for its residents and visitors

It would be wrong to say that recessions are a relic of the past.

I like to think sometimes that I still am.

I believe, I genuinely and sincerely believe, that every American boy and girl born under this flag has an unqualified right to all the education that he or she can make good use of, and a responsibility to get it.
