It may become necessary that the American people be made acquainted with, understand and support this fundamentally repugnant philosophy.”

“Let us remember there is not a poor person in the United States who was not made poor by his own shortcomings.”

“My friends, we did it. We weren't just marking time, we made a difference. We made (America) stronger - we made (America) freer - and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad. Not bad at all. And so, goodbye. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.”
