Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate. When written in Chinese, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters—one represents danger, and the other represents opportunity. Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly. Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. In the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding on the back of the tiger ended up inside. If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help. I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty. I hope that no American...will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant. Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction. |
