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 flag has not been planted on foreign soil to acquire more territory but for humanity's sake.

I do not prize the word cheap. It is not a word of inspiration. It is the badge of poverty, the signal of distress. Cheap merchandise means cheap men and cheap men mean a cheap country.

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

I have never been in doubt since I was old enough to think intelligently that I would someday be made President.

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.
