loyalty past men
It is of little use for us to pay lip-loyalty to the mighty men of the past unless we sincerely endeavor to apply to the problems of the present precisely the qualities which in other crises enabled the men of that day to meet those crises.

children men healthy
A healthy state can exist only when the men and women who make it up lead clean, vigorous, healthy lives; when the children are so trained that they shall endeavor, not to shirk difficulties, but to overcome them; not to seek ease, but to know how to wrest triumph from toil and risk.

The duties are even more important than the rights; and in the long run I think that the reward is ampler and greater for duty well done, than for the insistence upon individual rights.

Lincoln-sad, patient, kindly Lincoln, who after bearing upon his weary shoulders for four years a greater burden than that borne by any other man of the nineteenth century laid down his life for the people whom living he had served as well-built upon his early study of the Bible.

teaching language one-word
I have often thought that unselfishness combined in one word more of the teachings of the Bible than any other in the language.
forward-movement movement fringe
There is apt to be a lunatic fringe among the votaries of any forward movement.
men evil he-man
We can no more and no less afford to condone evil in the man of capital than evil in the man of no capital.

Unrestrained greed means the ruin of the great woods and the drying up of the sources of the rivers.
