I sincerely regret the unfortunate choice of language which I used in my letter of August 29 to Congressman McDonough concerning the Marine Corps.

When you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship.

We have found that it is easier for men to die together on the field of battle than it is for them to live together at home in peace.

I've had a few setbacks in my life, but I never gave up.

At this time, we should renew our faith in God. We celebrate the hour in which God came to man. It is fitting that we should turn to Him. . . But there are many others who are away from their homes and their loved ones on this day. Thousands of our boys are on the cold and dreary battlefield of Korea. But all of us, at home, at war, wherever we may be, are within reach of God's love and power. We can all pray. We should all pray.

Justice remains the greatest power on earth. To that tremendous power alone will we submit.

A politician is a man who understands government, and it takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead 10 or 15 years.
