Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

without God, there is no virtue because there's no prompting of the conscience. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

The march of freedom and democracy . . . will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people.

If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

We will never forget them nor the last time we saw them this morning as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.'

Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.
