The noblest search is the search for excellence.

Of all the problems of conservation, none is more urgent that the polluted air which endangers the American people. We have been fortunate so far. But we have seen that when winds fail to blow, the concentrations of poisonous clouds over our cities can become perilous.

I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them.

It will be controlled when the people of America, through their elected representatives, demand the right to air that they and their children can breathe without fear..

If the American people don't love me, their descendants will.
