I am glad to be going. This is the lonesomest pace in the world?

Too many people don't care what happens so long as it doesn't happen to them.

Unless education promotes character making, unless it helps men to be more moral, more just to their fellows, more law abiding, more discriminatingly patriotic and public spirited, it is not worth the trouble taken to furnish it.

The man with the average mentality, but with control, with a definite goal, and a clear conception of how it can be gained, and above all, with the power of application and labor, wins in the end.

I'll be damned if I am not getting tired of this. It seems to be the profession of a President simply to hear other people talk.

The true Mason takes full responsibility for the condition of his character and ever strives for its perfection.

Politics, when I am in it, makes me sick.
