| For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future. |
| Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans - born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace. |

| Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. |
| America has tossed its cap over the wall of space. |
| Politics is like football; if you see daylight, go through the hole. |
| In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there. |
| We must use time as a tool, not as a couch. |
