It is hard to see how a great man can be an atheist. . . . We need to feel that behind us is intelligence and love.

What we need in appointive positions is men of knowledge and experience who have sufficient character to resist temptations.

Do the day's work. If it be to protect the rights of the weak, whoever objects, do it. If it be to help a powerful corporation better to serve the people, whatever the opposition, do that. Expect to be called a stand-patter, but don't be a stand-patter. Expect to be called a demagogue, but don't be a demagogue. Don't hesitate to be as revolutionary as science. Don't hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table. Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong. Don't hurry to legislate. Give administration a chance to catch up with legislation.

School is not the end but only the beginning of an education.

Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.
