The quote that CD is harking about is certainly this one, in the same speach.

"We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to he won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people."

But, I mean, that is standard political language. Just read any speach given about any president about anything of an international nature and of course it everything is always done in the noblest spirit possible. How could it be different?
