I'd Rather Have A Bullet Inside Of

The Indiscriminate Denunciation Of The Rich Is Mischievous.... No Poor Man Was Ever Made Richer Or Happier By It. It Is Quite As Illogical To Despise A Man Because He Is Rich As Because He Is Poor. Not What A Man Has, But What He Is, Settles His Class. We Can Not Right Matters By Taking From One What He Has Honestly Acquired To Bestow Upon Another What He Has Not Earned.

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?

I Am Thorough Believer In The American Test Of Character. He Will Not Build High Who Does Not Build For Himself.

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.

I'd Rather Have A Bullet Inside Of Me Than To Be Living In Constant Dread Of One.
