I had very good support from Democrats and Republicans all throughout my administration. I had a very high batting average. We added more jobs per year in my four years than any other president since the Second World War.

There are two things which a democratic people will always find very difficult - to begin a war and to end it.

All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.

I will make a bargain with the Republicans. If they will stop telling lies about Democrats we will stop telling the truth about them.

If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats we will stop telling the truth about them.

Will some reporter or some Republican on the Sunday shows please ask why tax cuts raid the non-existent Social Security Trust Fund but all the Democrats' new spending doesn't? Will someone please ask that?

The dissemination of advanced implantable technology will likely be just as ruthlessly democratic as the ailments it is destined to treat. Meaning that someday soon we may have a new class of very smart very fast people - yesterday's disabled and elderly.

You know I believe that technology is the great leveler. Technology permits anybody to play. And in some ways I think technology - it's not only a great tool for democratization but it's a great tool for eliminating prejudice and advancing meritocracies.

The role of the teacher remains the highest calling of a free people. To the teacher America entrusts her most precious resource her children and asks that they be prepared... to face the rigors of individual participation in a democratic society.
