nature mean land
Conservation means development as much as it does protection. I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use the natural resources of our land; but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob, by wasteful use, the generations that come after us.
country believe mean
Our country, we have faith to believe, is only at the beginning of its growth. Unless the forests of the United States can be made ready to meet the vast demands which this growth will inevitably bring, commercial disaster, that means disaster to the whole country, is inevitable.
lines wealth misconduct
We draw the line against misconduct, not against wealth.
real party speaks-out
The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day.
success thinking voice
The most successful politician is he who says what the people are thinking most often in the loudest voice.
country men allegiance
We can have no '50-50' allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.
inspirational inspiring moving-on
It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.
feels-just destruction biodiversity
When I hear of the destruction of a species, I feel just as if all the works of some great writer have perished.
graduation stars eye
We want men who will fix their eyes on the stars, but who will not forget that their feet must walk on the ground.
wish fortune worthy
Each one must do his part if we wish to show that the nation is worthy of its good fortune.
reading better-life
I am a part of everything that I have read.
believe famous-inspirational mind
There is nothing brilliant or outstanding in my record, except perhaps this one thing. I do the things I believe ought to be done. And when I make up my mind to do a thing, I act.
errors effort daring-to-be-great
There is no effort without error or shortcoming.
flames wrath people
The American people are slow to wrath, but when their wrath is once kindled it burns like a consuming flame.
