The country is the place for children, and if not the country, a city small enough so that one can get out into the country.

When I say I believe in a square deal i do not mean to give every man the best hand. If the cards do not come to any man, or if they do come, and he has not got the power to play them, that is his affair. All I mean is that there shall be no crookedness in the dealing.

It is character that counts in a nation as in a man.

Never trust a man who says he is only a little crooked, and that the crookedness is exercised in your interest.

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

We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong.

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.
