Unlike any other nation, here the people rule, and their will is the supreme law. It is sometimes sneeringly said by those who do not like free government, that here we count heads. True, heads are counted, but brains also . . .

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

Honesty, capacity, and industry are nowhere more indispensable than in public employment.

Our past has gone into history.

I am for America because America is for the common people.

Half-heartedness never won a battle.

We cannot gamble with anything so sacred as money.
