For there is a new world to be won—a world of peace and good will, a world of hope and abundance; and I want America to lead the way to that new world.

JOHN F. KENNEDY
 (July 4, 1960)


My friends, it is because we are on the side of right: it is because we are on God’s side: that America will meet this challenge and that we will build a better America at home and that that better America will lead the forces of freedom in building a new world.

RICHARD NIXON
 (Last speech of the 1960 campaign)
