A man has deprived himself of the best there is in the world who has deprived himself of this.

America is the only idealistic nation in the world.

The profession I chose was politics; the profession I entered was law. I entered the one because I thought it would lead to the other.

The welfare, the happiness, the energy and spirit of the men and women who do the daily workis the underlying necessity of all prosperity.... There can be nothing wholesome unless their life is wholesome; there can be no contentment unless they are contented.

An evident principleis the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities, and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether they be strong or weak.

The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.

Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
