It is difficult for men in high office to avoid the malady of self-delusion. They are always surrounded by worshipers. They are constantly, and for the most part sincerely, assured of their greatness.

I have noticed that nothing I never said ever did me any harm.

We cannot permit any inquisition either within or without the law or apply any religious test to the holding of office. The mind of America must be forever free.

Wealth comes from industry and from the hard experience of human toil. To dissipate it in waste and extravagance is disloyalty to humanity.

All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.

Nobody will ever forget what I've accomplished.

The things I never say never get me into trouble.
