High society is for those who have stopped working and no longer have anything important to do.

The growth of our nation and all its activities are in the hands of a few men.

A fault which humbles a person is of more use to him or her than a good action which puffs him or her up.

No man that does not see visions will ever realize any high hope or undertake any high enterprise.

It must be a peace without victory... Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last.

We are in the presence of a new organization of society. Our life has broken away from the past.

We shall not, I believe, be obliged to alter our policy of watchful waiting.
