The Peace Corps is guilty of enthusiasm and a crusading spirit. But we're not apologetic about it.

I don't have to run the Peace Corps. I could live without seeing my picture in the newspapers and without being interviewed.

In the Peace Corps, the volunteer must be a fully developed, mature person. He must not join to run abroad or escape problems.

The Peace Corps would give thousands of young Americans a chance to see at first hand the conditions in remote areas of the world.

I want to warn anyone who sees the Peace Corps as an alternative to the draft that life may well be easier at Fort Dix or at apost in Germany than it will be with us.
