For three long years I have been going up and down this country preaching that government . . . costs too much. I shall not stop that preaching.

You are, I am sure, aware that genuine popular support in the United States is required to carry out any Government policy, foreign or domestic. The American people make up their own minds and no governmental action can change it.

As a nation, we may take pride in the fact that we are softhearted; but we cannot afford to be soft-headed.

No political party has exclusive patent rights on prosperity.

I believe that in every country the people themselves are more peaceably and liberally inclined than their governments.

No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country... By living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level - I mean the wages of decent living.

A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted-in the air.
