Every generation has the right to build its own world out of the materials of the past, cemented by the hopes of the future.

Love what is ahead by loving what has come before.

The party should stand for a constantly wider diffusion of property. That is the greatest social and economic security that can come to free men. It makes free men. We want a nation of proprietors, not a state of collectivists. That is attained by creating a national wealth and income, not by destroying it. The income and estate taxes create an orderly movement to diffuse swollen fortunes more effectively than all the quacks.

Liberalism should be found not striving to spread bureaucracy but striving to set bounds to it. True liberalism seeks all legitimate freedom first in the confident belief that without such freedom the pursuit of all other blessings and benefits is vain. That belief is the foundation of all American progress, political as well as economic.

No greater nor more affectionate honor can be conferred on an American than to have a public school named after him.

All progress and growth is a matter of change, but change must be growth within our social and government concepts if it should not destroy them.
