As this long and difficult war ends, I would like to address a few special words to...the American people: Your steadfastness in supporting our insistence on peace with honor has made peace with honor possible. I also believe that academic freedom should protect the right of a professor or student to advocate Marxism,socialism, communism, or any other minority viewpoint--no matter howdistasteful to the majority, provided. . . Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself. Any change is resisted because bureaucrats have a vested interest in the chaos in which they exist. Nothing would please the Kremlin more than to have the people of this country choose a second rate president. Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too. When I grow up, I want to be an honest lawyer so things like that can't happen. A man is not finished when he's defeated; he's finished when he quits. A riot is a spontaneous outburst. A war is subject to advance planning. The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity. |
