We want the spirit of America to be efficient; we want American character to be efficient; we want American character to display itself in what I may, perhaps, be allowed to call spiritual efficiency - clear disinterested thinking and fearless action

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

Let it be your pride to show all men everywhere not only what good soldiers you are, but also what good men you are.

The seed of revolution is repression.

America is not a mere body of traders; it is a body of free men. Our greatness is built upon our freedom - is moral, not material. We have a great ardor for gain; but we have a deep passion for the rights of man.

We shall fight for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free.

No task, rightly done, is truly private. It is part of the world s work.
