I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail.

It is man's consolation that the future is to be a sunrise instead of a sunset.

He means to succeed, and a man who has centuries before him can afford to wait and to go slow.

It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory…With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph — -so help us God.

It is not the strength, but the duration, of great sentiments that makes great men.

There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience.

Espero que con el tiempo sea como él sin tener que pasar por todo lo que él ha pasado.

I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.

It took less than an hour to make the atoms, a few hundred million years to make the stars and planets, but five billion years to make man!

It requires twenty years for a man to rise from the vegetable state in which he is within his mother's womb, and from the pure animal state which is the lot of his early childhood, to the state when the maturity of reason begins to appear. It has required thirty centuries to learn a little about his structure. It would need eternity to learn something about his soul. It takes an instant to kill him.

man's evolution was unique in showing the dominance of convergence over divergence:

[Once war is declared, he will not waste precious time in waiting for reinforcements, nor will he return his army back for fresh supplies, but crosses the enemy's frontier without delay.

Like a fellow running from or toward a gun ain't got time to worry whether the word for what he is doing is courage or cowardice.
