Be sincere; be brief; be seated.

What I seek is the highest possible batting average.

There is nothing so American as our national parks. The scenery and the wildlife are native. The fundamental idea behind the parks is native. It is, in brief, that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us. The parks stand as the outward symbal of the great human principle.

There is nothing I love as much as a good fight.

Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them.

The driving force of a nation lies in its spiritual purpose, made effective by free, tolerant but unremitting national will.

If the fires of freedom and civil liberties burn low in other lands they must be made brighter in our own. If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free. If in other lands the eternal truths of the past are threatened by intolerance we must provide a safe place for their perpetuation.
