As to my political faith- I have never voted. My father was a Democrat, my mother a Republican, and I am an Episcopalian.

Wars are bred by poverty and oppression. Continued peace is possible only in a relatively free and prosperous world.

Passive inactivity, because you have not been given specific instructions to do this or to do that, is a serious deficiency.

Don't fight the problem, decide it.

I was very careful to send Mr. Roosevelt every few days a statement of our casualties. I tried to keep before him all the time the casualty results because you get hardened to these things and you have to be very careful to keep them always in the forefront of your mind.

Go right straight down the road, to do what is best, and to do it frankly and without evasion.

It is not enough to fight. It is the spirit which we bring to the fight that decides the issue. It is morale that wins the victory.
