I would not speak with disrespect of the Republican Party. I always speak with great respect of the past.

I am one who fights without a knack of hoping confidentlysimply a Scotch-Irishman who will not be conquered.

I am the friend of peace and mean to preserve it for America so long as I am able. . . . No course of my choosing or of their (nations at war) will lead to war. War can come only by the wilful acts and aggressions of others.

I am a most unhappy man. I accidentally ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit. Our government is no longer based on the freedom of opinion, nor on the conviction and the majority decision, it is now a government which is subjected to the conviction and the compulsion of a small group of dominant men.

The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates.

I want to re-echo my hope that we may all work together for a great peace as distinguished from a mean peace.

I can predict with absolute certainty that within another generation there will be another world war if the nations of the world do not concert the method by which to prevent it.
