I believe in you, my countrymen; I believe in our people, and therefore I believe that they will dare to be great.

Cut down one of these giants and you cannot fill its place.

We should keep the trees as we should keep great stretches of the wildernesses as a heritage for our children and our children's children.

The one thing on which this country must forever be a unit is the navy.

I want to thank you very much for your courtesy in receiving me.

We must go on with the task as we have begun it.

I am, oh, so glad to be here.

More and more our people have waked to the fact that farming is not only a practical, but a scientific pursuit.

Today, for the first time in my life, I have seen the greatest of the oceans; I have come across the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific; from the East to the West.

I wish you, the Forest Rangers, and also all the others, to protect the game and wild creatures.

If any one lies, if he has the habit of untruthfulness, you cannot deal with him, because there is nothing to depend on.

Our aim must be to hand over to our children not an impoverished but an improved heritage.

I believe in you, men and women of California, men and women of America, of the United States, because I feel that you are not only sound in body and sound in mind, but that which counts for more than body, more than mind—character.

New methods must be devised for meeting the various problems that come up.

I am glad to see what has been done by your beet culture, fruit culture of every kind, irrigation, and tilling of the soil.

I am, as you gentlemen probably know, exceedingly interested in the question of forestry preservation.

As you have for your good fortune been placed down in this beautiful region with its wonderful climate, with its soil, with all the chance for development that it offers, so we have a right to expect a particularly high type of American citizenship from you.

I am not surprised at it, because the last two days in California have taught me not to be surprised at anything.
