The chief business of the American people is business.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results.

Your ability to face setbacks and disappointments without giving up will be the measure of your ability to succeed.

A wholesome regard for the memory of the great men of long ago is the best assurance to a people of a continuation of great men to come, who shall be able to instruct, to lead, and to inspire. A people who worship at the shrine of true greatness will themselves be truly great.

What America needs is to hold to its ancient and well-charted course. Our country was conceived in the theory of local self-government. It has been dedicated by long practice to that wise and beneficent policy. It is the foundation principle of our system of liberty. It makes the largest promise to the freedom and development of the individual. Its preservation is worth all the effort and all the sacrifice that it may cost.

This country would not be a land of opportunity, America could not be America, if the people were shackled with government monopolies.
