- I have enjoyed my life, its disappointments outweighed by its pleasures. I have loved my country in a way that some people consider sentimental and out of style. I still do. And I remain an optimist with joy, without apology about this country and about the American experiment in democracy.
- "The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped." -- From his last speech, Washington DC, November 1, 1977.
- To err is human. To blame someone else is politics.
- The impersonal hand of government can never replace the helping hand of a neighbor.
