Freedom
"I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem-and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?"
America
"If men can develop weapons that are so terrifying as to make the thought of global war include almost a sentence for suicide, you would think that man's intelligence and his comprehension... would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution."
War & Peace
"Politics is a profession; a serious, complicated and, in its true sense, a noble one."
Politics
"Speeches are for the younger men who are going places. And I'm not going anyplace except six feet under the floor of that little chapel adjoining the museum and library at Abilene."
Miscellaneous
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex."
Government
