America's present need is not heroics but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution but restoration.

There is something inherently wrong, something out of accord with the ideals of representative democracy, when one portion of our citizenship turns its activities to private gain amid defensive war while another is fighting, sacrificing, or dying for national preservation.

Ambition is a commendable attribute, without which no man succeeds. Only inconsiderate ambition imperils.

It is my conviction that the fundamental trouble with the people of the United States is that they have gotten too far away from Almighty God.

We need citizens who are less concerned about what their government can do for them, and more concerned about what they can do for the nation.

America's present need is not heroics but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution but restoration.

Our most dangerous tendency is to expect too much of government, and at the same time do for it too little.
