Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America.

War is a contest, and you finally get to a point where you are talking merely about race suicide, and nothing else.

American working men are principals in the three-member team of capital, management, labor. Never have they regarded themselves as a servile class that could attain freedom only through destruction of the industrial economy.

These words will remind Americans that despite our great physical strength we must remain humble. They will help us keep constantly in our minds and hearts the spiritual and moral principles which alone give dignity to man.
