No nation is fit to sit in judgment upon any other nation
You cannot become thorough Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America has not yet become an American.

A nation is as great, and only as great, as her rank and file.
The right is more precious than peace.
Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at.
Government is merely an attempt to express the conscience of everybody, the average conscience of the nation, in the rules that everybody is commanded to obey. That is all it is.
A living thing is born.

Fear God and you need not be afraid of anyone else
We cannot, we will not, choose the path of surrender
