Our faith teaches that there is no safer reliance than upon the God of our fathers who has so singularly favored the American people in every national trial and who will not forsake us so long as we obey His commandments and walk humbly in His footsteps

The American people, intrenched in freedom at home, take their love for it with them wherever they go.

Our earnest prayer is that God will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happiness, and peace to all our neighbors, and like blessings to all the peoples and powers of the earth

We go to war only to make peace. We never went to war with any other design. We carry the national conscience wherever we go.

The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.

Let us ever remember that our interest is in concord, not in conflict; and that our real eminence rests in the victories of peace, not those of war.

Half-heartedness never won a battle.
