lines creeds castes
To divide along the lines of section or caste or creed is un-American.
book men practice
There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful.
men submit
Men can never escape being governed. Either they must govern themselves or they must submit to being governed by others.
mean greatness roots
It is by no means necessary that a great nation should always stand at the heroic level. But no nation has the root of greatness in it unless in time of need it can rise to the heroic mood.
government administration legislation
The bulk of government is not legislation but administration.
bible god christian
I believe that the next half century will determine if we will advance the cause of Christian civilization or revert to the horrors of brutal paganism.
honesty evil generosity
The forces that tend for evil are great and terrible, but the forces of truth and love and courage and honesty and generosity and sympathy are also stronger than ever before.
presidential church liberty
To discriminate against a thoroughly upright citizen because he belongs to some particular church, or because, like Abraham Lincoln, he has not avowed his allegiance to any church, is an outrage against the liberty of conscience, which is one of the foundations of American life.
presidential president enjoyed
No President has ever enjoyed himself as much as I?
men judging causes
We must remember not to judge any public servant by any one act, and especially should we beware of attacking the men who are merely the occasions and not the cause of disaster.
play issues people
If we are to be really great people, we must strive in good faith to play a great part in the world. We cannot avoid meeting great issues. All that we can determine for ourselves is whether we shall meet them well or ill.
people wealth values
I am simply unable to understand the value placed by so many people upon great wealth.
inspirational success uplifting
Courage is not having the strength to go on, it is going on when you don't have the strength. Industry and determination can do anything that genius and advantage can do and many things that they cannot.
people quality affair
From the very beginning our people have markedly combined practical capacity for affairs with power of devotion to an ideal. The lack of either quality would have rendered the other of small value.
