“The fate of America cannot depend on any one man. The greatness of America is grounded in principles and not on any single personality.”

Presidents are selected, not elected.

In these days of difficulty, we Americans everywhere must and shall choose the path of social justice…, the path of faith, the path of hope, and the path of love toward our fellow man.

If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships – the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and Senators and Congressmen and Government officials but the voters of this country.

Remember you are just an extra in everyone else’s play.

The motto of war is: “Let the strong survive; let the weak die.” The motto of peace is: “Let the strong help the weak to survive.”

We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.

When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait until he has struck to crush him.

Peace, like charity, begins at home.

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us.

If you treat people right they will treat you right… ninety percent of the time.

We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization.

I am neither bitter nor cynical but I do wish there was less immaturity in political thinking.

We know that equality of individual ability has never existed and never will, but we do insist that equality of opportunity still must be sought.

Never underestimate a man who overestimates himself.

I will never give up on the American people.

It’s not my place or Donald Trump’s place to declare who has won this election. That’s the decision of the American people.

Iraq is a small but very proud nation.

Russia does not and cannot have any political choice but democracy.

I believe the Japan-U.S. alliance is the only indispensable alliance, and I’d like to use my visit to further strengthen this relationship.

Russia is a part of the West and at the same time is a part of the Asia-Pacific.

The Russian people have their own cultural code, their own tradition.

Japan will calmly proceed with its activities in line with international law.
