• Let the word go forth from this time and place,
  to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been
  passed to a new generation of Americans, born in
  this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a
  hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient
  heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the
  slow undoing of those human rights to which this
  nation has always been committedLet 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 to
  assure the survival and the success of liberty.
  We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier
  Americans must be new pioneers and explore
  uncharted areas of science and spaceunconquered
  pockets of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered
  questions of poverty and surplus.

• The Great Society is a place where every child
  can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to
  enlarge his talents. It is a place where leisure
  is a welcome chance to build and reflect, not a
  feared case of boredom and restlessness. It is a
  place where the city of man serves not only the
  needs of the body and the demands of commerce but
  the desire for beauty and the hunger for
  community. It is a place where man can renew
  contact with nature. It is a place which honors
  creation for its own sake and for what it adds to
  the understanding of the race. It is a place
  where men are more concerned with the quality of
  their goals than the quantity of their goods.
