"I am afraid that some of us have been inclined to take our freedoms and high standards of living too much for granted. Too many of us want something for nothing. Too often people try to get help and security from the government instead of trying hard to solve their problems themselves. History has shown that some fine civilizations lost out to more aggressive people. We must heed the lessons of history or we may condemn ourselves to the mistakes of the past."
