“We do not deny any nation's legitimate interest in security. But protecting the security of one nation by robbing another of its national independence and national traditions is not legitimate. In the long run, it is not even secure.”

“If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be one nation gone under.”

“A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.”

“I have left orders to be awakened at any time during national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting.”

“We are a nation that has a government--not the other way around.”

“We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.”

“What really matters in the game among nations is national strength and military capability to maintain national security, to preserve the integrity of the national territory, to protect and promote national interest, and to uphold national sovereignty and honor of the nation. Nothing less and nothing more.”
