action worst can-do
The worst thing I can do is nothing.
men ignorant educated
No educated man can afford to be ignorant of the Bible.
teamwork strong army
Personally I have never been able to understand why the head of a big business, whether it be the Nation, the State or the Army, or Navy should not desire to have very strong and positive people under him.
rap credit done
I do not care a rap as to who gets credit for the work, provided the work is done.
race feet lakes
Fertile plains, every foot of them tilled, are of the first necessity; but great natural playgrounds of mountain, forest, cliff-walled lake, and brawling brook are also necessary to the full and many-sided development of a fine race.

Nothing should be permitted to stand in the way of the preservation of the forests, and it is criminal to permit individuals to purchase a little gain for themselves through the destruction of forests when this destruction is fatal to the well-being of the whole country in the future.

Conservation of our resources is the fundamental question before this nation, and that our first and greatest task is to set our house in order and begin to live within our means.

There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country.
mistake men thinking
It is a great mistake to think that the extremist is a better man than the moderate. Usually the difference is not that he is morally stronger, but that he is intellectually weaker. He is not more virtuous. He is simply more foolish.
perseverance soul victory
There are some timid souls that will never know victory nor defeat.

Life brings sorrows and joys alike. It is what a man does with them - not what they do to him - that is the true test of his mettle.
hard-work men helping
Each man must work for himself, and unless he so works, no outside help can avail him.
men thinking light
On the whole, we think that the greatest victories are yet to be won, the greatest deeds yet to be done, and that there are yet in store for our peoples, and for the causes that we uphold, grander triumphs than have ever yet been scored. But be this as it may, we gladly agree that the one plain duty of every man is to face the future as he faces the present, regardless of what it may have in store for him, turning toward the light as he sees the light, to play his part manfully, as a man among men.
rights constitution fit
All constitutions, those of the States no less than that of the nation, are designed, and must be interpreted and administered so as to fit human rights.
