With great victory comes great sacrifice.

No man should receive a dollar unless that dollar has been fairly earned.

Life is a great adventure…accept it in such a spirit.

War is not merely justifiable, but imperative upon honorable men, upon an honorable nation, where peace can only be obtained by the sacrifice of conscientious conviction or of national welfare.

The mass of the American people are most emphatically not in the deplorable condition of which you speak.

I believe that this Republic will endure for many centuries. If so there will doubtless be among its Presidents Protestants and Catholics, and very probably at some time, Jews. I have consistently tried while President to act in relation to my fellow Americans of Catholic faith as I hope that any future President who happens to be Catholic will act towards his fellow Americans of Protestant faith. Had I followed any other course I should have felt that I was unfit to represent the American people.

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
