I have never been hurt by what I have not said.

Industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character.

Changing a college curriculum is like moving a graveyard-you never know how many friends the dead have until you try to move them!

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.

Our domestic problems are for the most part economic. We have our enormous debt to pay, and we are paying it. We have the high cost of government to diminish, and we are diminishing it. We have a heavy burden of taxation to reduce, and we are reducing it. But while remarkable progress has been made in these directions, the work is yet far from accomplished.

If we judge ourselves only by our aspirations and everyone else only their conduct we shall soon reach a very false conclusion.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
