"The same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue...the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution."

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

— John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), 35th president of the United States, from his inaugural address on January 20, 1961
