I am mortal. I want the nation to get used to freedom before I die.

Love of liberty means the guarding of every resource that makes freedom possible - from the sanctity of our families and the wealth of our soil to the genius of our scientists.

Let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.

This nation has never lived without independence. We cannot and shall not live without it. Either independence or death.

A nation which makes the final sacrifice for life and freedom does not get beaten.

We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
