It is my faith and conviction that the Constitution came not alone of the brain and purpose of man, but of the inspiration of God.

Be strong-be strong in the discipline of self. How many otherwise good men squander their strength and dissipate their will and literally destroy their lives because they have not the power of self-discipline.

I believe that I am a child of God, endowed with a divine birthright. I believe that there is something of divinity within me and within each of you. I believe that we have a godly inheritance and that it is our responsibility, our obligation, and our opportunity to cultivate and nurture the very best of these qualities within us.

I am totally in the hands of the Lord.

One of the great tragedies we witness almost daily is the tragedy of men of high aim and low achievement. Their motives are noble. Their proclaimed ambition is praiseworthy. Their capacity to achieve is great. But their discipline is weak. They succumb to indolence. Appetite robs them of will.

I spent one night in the hospital in my life. I was past 75 when that occurred.

Let us all try to stand a little taller, rise a little higher, be a little better. Make the extra effort. You will be happier.
