One-fifth Of The People Are

There Are People In Every Time And Every Land Who Want To Stop History In Its Tracks. They Fear The Future, Mistrust The Present, And Invoke The Security Of The Comfortable Past Which, In Fact, Never Existed.

All Do Not Develop In The Same Manner, Or At The Same Pace. Nations, Like Men, Often March To The Beat Of Different Drummers, And The Precise Solutions Of The United States Can Neither Be Dictated Nor Transplanted To Others. What Is Important Is That All Nations Must March Toward Increasing Freedom; Toward Justice For All; Toward A Society Strong And Flexible Enough To Meet The Demands Of All Its Own People, And A World Of Immense And Dizzying Change.

Our Attitude Towards Immigration Reflects Our Faith In The American Ideal. We Have Always Believed It Possible For Men And Women Who Start At The Bottom To Rise As Far As The Talent And Energy Allow. Neither Race Nor Place Of Birth Should Affect Their Chances.

It Is Not More Bigness That Should Be Our Goal. We Must Attempt, Rather, To Bring People Back To...the Warmth Of Community, To The Worth Of Individual Effort And Responsibility...and Of Individuals Working Together As A Community, To Better Their Lives And Their Children's Future.

I Believe That, As Long As There Is Plenty, Poverty Is Evil.
