There comes a time in the life of a nation, as in the life of an individual, when it must face great responsibilities, whether it will or no. We have now reached that time. We cannot avoid facing the fact that we occupy a new place among the people of the world.

We have duties to others, and duties to ourselves, and we cannot shirk either.

Perhaps there is no more important component of character than steadfast resolution.

The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased; and not impaired in value.

Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right.

If given the choice between Righteousness and Peace, I choose Righteousness.

There is a delight in the hardy life of the open.
