Quote #4
To all the peoples of the world, I once more give expression to America's prayerful and continuing inspiration: We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love. (VII. 5)
This is Ike's last hurrah as president, and his understanding of America's principles comes out to shine like the morning sun rising over the prairie. When's the last time you heard a sentence like this one? And did you notice that the whole thing is in fact one sentence? Ike clearly missed his calling. In addition to being the Supreme Commander of Everything and president, he shoulda been a preacher.
