Just once in a while let us exalt the importance of ideas and information.

We cannot make good news out of bad practice.

The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.

We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.

We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven into an age of unreason if we dig deep into our history and remember we are not descended from fearful men.

Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.

The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue.

When the politicians complain that TV turns the proceedings into a circus, it should be made clear that the circus was already there, and that TV has merely demonstrated that not all the performers are well trained.

If we were to do the Second Coming of Christ in color for a full hour, there would be a considerable number of stations which would decline to carry it on the grounds that a Western or a quiz show would be more profitable.

Good night, and good luck.
