A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started ... He will assume control of your cities, states and nations. He is going to move in and take over your churches, schools, universities, and corporations ... The fate of humanity is in his hands.

It is safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in its organic law for its own termination.

There is more involved in this contest than is realized by every one. There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.

The only assurance of our nation's safety is to lay our foundation in morality and religion.

He who molds the public sentiment... makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to make.

Nowhere in the world is presented a government of so much liberty and equality. To the humblest and poorest amongst us are held out the highest privileges and positions. The present moment finds me at the White House, yet there is as good a chance for your children as there was for my father's.

Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.
