The true Mason is the Tiler of the Temple of the Heart.

There is no legislation--I care not what it is--tariff, railroads, corporations, or of a general political character, that all equals in importance the putting of our banking and currency system on the sound basis proposed in the National Monetary Commission plan.

We can't have a decent government unless those in power exercise self restraint.

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.

Take away from the courts, if it could be taken away, the power to issue injunctions in labor disputes, and it would create a privileged class among the laborers and save the lawless among their number from a most needful remedy available to all men for the protection of their business interests against unlawful invasion.... The secondary boycott is an instrument of tyranny, and ought not to be made legitimate.

I do not think that there is any doubt about where I stand in respect to boycotts. If there is, I will just state what I think about them. They are illegal and ought to be suppressed. I would never countenance that which recognizes their legality.

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.
