The true Mason never hesitates to use the working tools to correct personal flaws.

It is not impossible, of course, after such an administration as Roosevelt's and after the change in method that I could not but adapt in view of my different way of looking at things, that questions should arise as to whether I should go back on the principles of the Roosevelt administration.... I have a government of limited power under a Constitution, and we have got to work out our problems on the basis of law. Now, if that is reactionary, then I am a reactionary.

We shall have to begin all over again. [Taft hoped that] the Senators might change their minds, or that the people might change the Senate; instead of which they changed me.

As a people, we have the problem of making our forests outlast this generation, or iron outlast this century, and our coal the next; not merely as a matter of convenience or comfort, but as a matter of stern necessity.

That all may be so, but when I begin to exercise that power I am not conscious of the power, but only of the limitations imposed on me.

There is no "but" in it. The way to be an administration Senator is to vote with the Administration.

We, as Unitarians, may feel that the world is coming our way.
