I am not concerned with dodging the odium of the word. The proposed definition of democracy is socialistic . . . (democracy) should be characterized not so much socialistic, as unscrupulously and loyally nationalistic.

The average American is nothing if not patriotic.

Democracy may mean something more than a theoretically absolute popular government, but it assuredly cannot mean anything less.

Women ... are completely alone, though they were born and bred upon this soil, as if they belonged to another class in creation.

American history contains much matter for pride and congratulation, and much matter for regret and humiliation.

The only fruitful promise of which the life of any individual or any nation can be possessed, is a promise determined by an ideal.

Of course, Americans have no monopoly of patriotic enthusiasm and good faith.
