  • We have a positive vision of the future founded on the belief that the gap between the promise and reality of America can one day be finally closed. We believe that.

  • Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power.

  • Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

  • We must not become the new puritans and reject our society. We must address and master the future together. It can be done if we restore the belief that we share a sense of national community, that we share a common national endeavor. It can be done.
