I can think of no greater disaster to this country than to have the voters of it divide upon religious lines.

Be sincere. Be simple in words, manners, and gestures. Amuse as well as instruct. If you can make a man laugh, you can make him think and make him like and believe you.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
