If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: 'President Can't Swim.'

Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.

What we won when all of our people united must not be lost in suspicion and distrust and selfishness and politics. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as president.

One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.

I seldom think of politics more than eighteen hours a day.

There is but one way for a president to deal with Congress, and that is continuously, incessantly, and without interruption. If it is really going to work, the relationship has got to be almost incestuous.

I believe we can continue the Great Society while we fight in Vietnam.

We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting some men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society. We have truly entered the century of the educated man.

Our society is illuminated by the spiritual insights of the Hebrew prophets. America and Israel have a common love of human freedom, and they have a common faith in a democratic way of life.

To conclude that women are unfitted to the task of our historic society seems to me the equivalent of closing male eyes to female facts.
