The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

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

The American people abhor a vacuum.

The great man is always the man of mighty effort.

The absence of effective State, and, especially, national, restraint upon unfair money-getting has tended to create a small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power. The prime need is to change the conditions which enable these men to accumulate power which is not for the general welfare that they should hold or exercise. We grudge no man a fortune which represents his own power and sagacity, when exercised with entire regard to the welfare of his fellows.

No other President ever enjoyed the Presidency as I did.

Show me a man who makes no mistakes, and I will show you a man who doesn't do things.
