| We in this country, in this generation, are--by destiny rather than choice--the watchmen on the walls of world freedom.

That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. For as was written long ago: "except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." |
| John Fitzgerald Kennedy |

| Joseph Conrad |
