Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.
My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!
Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty.

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.
Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
From every mountain side, Let freedom ring.
