Our democracy poses problems and these problems must and shall be solved by courageous leadership.

Science has not solved problems, only shifted the points of problems.

Conscious of our many problems, I seek today to lay a foundation to our public policy. My fundamental purpose is to devote my term of office to raising the standard of public service in New Jersey.

Our society cannot progress while our constitution stands still.

Bosses are no more inevitable in state and local governments than dictators are in national governments. They will arise and prosper, nevertheless, if true believers of democracy - citizens devoted to the democratic ideals - do not constantly oppose them.

I like the noise of democracy.
