Nature is inexorable. If men do not follow the truth they cannot live.

If American democracy is to remain the greatest hope of humanity, it must continue abundantly in the faith of the Bible

We cannot weaken or destroy political parties in ther United States without weakening or destroying the rule of the people.... Those who support party organization and submit to party discipline are supporting the only course yet discovered for orderly government by the people.

Governments do not make ideals, but ideals make governments.
