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

At this auspicious period, the United States came into existence as a Nation; and if their Citizens should not be completely free and happy, the fault will be entirely their own.

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

The Turkish Nation consists of the valiant descendants of a people that has lived independently and has considered independence the sole condition of existence.

No nation which refuses to exercise forbearance and to respect the freedom and rights of others can long remain strong and retain the confidence and respect of other nations.

My country wants to be constructive, not destructive. It wants agreement, not wars, among nations. It wants itself to live in freedom, and in the confidence that the people of every other nation enjoy equally the right of choosing their own way of life.
