I believe in human liberty as I believe in the wine of life. There is no salvation for men in the pitiful condescension of industrial masters. Guardians have no place in a land of freemen.

There is no indispensable man.

The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make.

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

No man can be just who is not free.

The shadows that now lie dark upon our path will soon be dispelled and we shall walk with the light all about us if we but be true to ourselves.

We can afford to exercise the self-restraint of a really great nation which realizes its own strength and scorns to misuse it.
