Seven Days in May Quotes

Military Coup Threat to U.S. Government

Taglines: I'm suggesting Mr President, there's a military plot to take over the Government of these United States, next Sunday...

A Call for Strength and Patience

President Jordan Lyman: [to reporters at a televised press conference] There's been abroad in this land in recent months a whisper that we have somehow lost our greatness, that we do not have the strength to win without war the struggles for liberty throughout the world. This is slander, because our country is strong, strong enough to be a peacemaker. It is proud, proud enough to be patient. The whisperers and the detractors, the violent men are wrong. We will remain strong and proud, peaceful and patient, and we will see a day when on this earth all men will walk out of the long tunnels of tyranny into the bright sunshine of freedom.
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, that was the President of the United States.
