It is hope that if twenty-five million voters refrain from voting in 1956 because of their own accord and not because of a sly wink from Khrushchev, this might make the American people ask how much longer this dumb farce can proceed without even a whimper of protest.

We are not training poets or musicians, but atomic engineers.
Business is built on successful lying called advertising.
We want money in vast amount, no matter how we get it. We can make a sick man President and set him to a job which would strain a man in robust health.

You will take large part and bravely march to the polls, and that also will make no difference.
