No Man Ever Listened Himself Out Of

Look Well To The Hearthstone; Therein All Hope For America Lies.

It Is A Great Advantage To A President, And A Major Source Of Safety To The Country, For Him To Know He Is Not A Great Man.

Governments Do Not Make Ideals, But Ideals Make Governments. This Is Both Historically And Logically True. Of Course The Government Can Help To Sustain Ideals And Can Create Institutions Through Which They Can Be The Better Observed, But Their Source By Their Very Nature Is In The People. The People Have To Bear Their Own Responsibilities. There Is No Method By Which That Burden Can Be Shifted To The Government. It Is Not The Enactment, But The Observance Of Laws, That Creates The Character Of A Nation.

I Shouldn't Want You To Be Surprised, Or To Draw Any Particular Inference From My Making Speeches, Or Not Making Speeches, Out There. I Don't Recall Any Candidate For President That Ever Injured Himself Very Much By Not Talking.

Everyone Has An Influence On Public Affairs If He Will Take The Trouble To Exert It.
