men rights law
When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law?
memorial-day military thinking
I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did.
two air history
I shall have a great advantage over you, Mr. Gerry. When we are all hung for what we are now doing. From the size and weight of my body I shall die in a few minutes, but from the lightness of your body you will dance in the air an hour or two before you are dead.
wise heart irritation
Will it not be wise to allow the friendship between nations to rest upon deep and permanent things? Irritations of the cuticle must not be confounded with heart failure.
presidential intimidation crime
The disfranchisement of a single legal elector by fraud or intimidation is a crime too grave to be regarded lightly.
goes-on presidents-day
Great lives never go out; they go on.
patriotic government wish
Sir, I wish to understand the true principles of the Government. I wish them carried out. I ask nothing more.
wages comfort currency
There never has been a time in our history when work was so abundant or when wages were as high, whether measured by the currency in which they are paid or by their power to supply the necessaries and comforts of life.
loyalty today flags
That one flag encircles us with its folds today, the unrivaled object of our loyal love.
government land people
No other people have a government more worthy of their respect and love or a land so magnificent in extent, so pleasant to look upon, and so full of generous suggestion to enterprise and labor.
men rights mind
God forbid that the day should ever come when, in the American mind, the thought of man as a consumer shall submerge the old American thought of man as a creature of God, endowed with unalienable rights.
presidential justified
Lincoln had faith in time, and time has justified his faith.
men age doe
I cannot always sympathize with that demand which we hear so frequently for cheap things. Things may be too cheap. They are too cheap when the man or woman who produces them upon the farm or the man or woman who produces them in the factory does not get out of them living wages with a margin for old age and for a dowry for the incidents that are to follow. I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth or shapes it into a garment will starve in the process
character tests doe
I am thorough believer in the American test of character. He will not build high who does not build for himself.
