The words of the Declaration of Independence, as given effect by Washington...are to be accepted as real, and not as empty phrases...that in very truth this is a government by the people themselves, that the Constitution is theirs, that the courts are theirs, that all the government agents and agencies are theirs... It is for the people themselves finally to decide all questions of public policy and to have their decision made effective...We here, in America, hold in our hands the hope of the world.

The weakling and the coward cannot be saved by honesty alone; but without honesty the brave and able man is merely a civic wild beast who should be hunted down by every lover of righteousness. No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community.

In battle, the ONLY bullets that count are those that hit.

One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called "weasel words."

Each one must do his part if we wish to show that the nation is worthy of its good fortune.

It is only the warlike power of a civilized people that can give peace to the world.

All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune-make for a finer, nobler type of manhood.
