There is but one real way in which any man can be helped, and that is by teaching him to help himself.

I have come to California; I have seen; and I have been conquered by California's citizens and California's Governor.

I have enjoyed every hour I have been in your beautiful and wonderful State.

We must see to it that no man for speculative purposes or for mere temporary use exploits the groves of great trees.

I am glad to see the way in which the old mission buildings are being preserved.

It is a peculiar pleasure to me to address the children.

To pin those cards up there is as much out of place as if you tacked so many tin cans up there.

This is the first glimpse I have ever had of the big trees.

We must have a first-class navy.

We must make it an even better one in the future.

I shall only say how glad I am to be here, bid you welcome with all my heart, and say how thoroughly I believe in you, and that I am a better American for being among you.

I am glad to have seen you.

A nation like ours, with the unique position of fronting at once on the Atlantic and the Pacific, a nation forced by the mere fact of destiny to play a great, a mighty, a masterful part in the world, cannot afford to neglect its navy.

Where the individuals and associations of individuals cannot preserve them, the State, and, if necessary, the nation, should step in and see to their preservation.

It is a very great pleasure to be here.

I do hope that it will be your object to preserve them as nature made them and left them, for the future.

I do not know of anything that bids better for our material well-being than the tree culture;

I want to see you play hard while you play, and when you work do not play at all.
