The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!

Perhaps the basic thing which contributes to charm is the ability to forget oneself and be engrossed in other people.

The only joy in this hard life is serving others.

Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Franklin's illness...gave him strength and courage he had not had before. He had to think out the fundamentals of living and learn the greatest of all lessons - infinite patience and never ending persistence.

It is a brave thing to have courage to be an individual; it is also, perhaps, a lonely thing. But it is better than not being an individual, which is to be nobody at all.

To be a citizen in a democracy, a human being must be given a healthy start.
