The commands of democracy are as imperative as its privileges and opportunities are wide and generous. Its compulsion is upon us.

The Bible is the one supreme source of revelation of the meaning of life, the nature of God and spiritual nature and need of men. It is the only guide of life which really leads the spirit in the way of peace and salvation.

America cannot be an ostrich with its head in the sand.

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

Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.

If you would be a leader of men, you must lead your own generation, not the next.

Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.
