If a man must make himself appear cheerful; he must know why he is miserable.

The Brooklyn Bridge and I grew up together.

The American people never carry an umbrella. They prepare to walk in eternal sunshine.

I believe in absolute freedom of conscience for all men and equality of all churches, all sects and all beliefs before the law as a matter of right and not as a matter of favor. I believe in the absolute separation of church and state and in the strict enforcement of the Constitution that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof I believe that no tribunal of any church has any power to make any decree of any force in the law of the land, other than to establish the status of its own communicants within its own church.

If a man must make himself appear cheerful; he must know why he is miserable.

The thing we have to fear in this country, to my way of thinking, is the influence of the organized minorities, because somehow or other the great majority does not seem to organize. They seem to feel that they are going to be effective because of their own strength, but they give no expression of it.

It is the right of our people to organize to oppose any law and any part of the Constitution with which they are not in sympathy.
