Just as Lincoln got contradictory advice from the extremists of both sides . . . so now I have to guard myself against the extremists of both sides.

Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind.

No other President ever enjoyed the Presidency as I did.

Rarely has any people enjoyed greater prosperity than we are now enjoying. For this we render heartfelt and solemn thanks to the Giver of Good; and we seek to praise Him -not by words only -but by deeds, by the way in which we do our duty to ourselves and to our fellow men.

We want men who will fix their eyes on the stars, but who will not forget that their feet must walk on the ground.

Courage, hard work, self-mastery, and intelligent effort are all essential to successful life.

I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
