The treasury of America lies in those ambitions, those energies, that cannot be restricted to a special favored class. It depends upon the inventions of unknown men, upon the originations of unknown men, upon the ambitions of unknown men. Every country is renewed out of the ranks of the unknown, not out of the ranks of those already famous and powerful and in control.

No nation is fit to sit in judgement upon any other nation.

This little world, this little state, this little commonwealth of our own.

There will be no greater burden on our generation than to organize the forces of liberty in our time in order to make our quest ofa new freedom for America.

The whole purpose of democracy is that we may hold counsel with one another, so as not to depend upon the understanding of one man.

There is no indispensable man.

There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
