The more efficient a man is the more dangerous he is if that efficiency is not guided by the proper type of spirit, by the proper sense of moral responsibility.

It would be hard to overestimate the amount of good work done by the Young Men's Christian Associations and the Young Women's Christian Associations.

It is not enough to have mere efficiency.

No law that the wit of man has ever devised ever has made or ever will make the fool wise, the coward brave, or the weakling strong.

Every decent American ought to be proud of the army and the navy of Uncle Sam.

Let me thank you for coming out to see me, and say how I have enjoyed coming here.

I think I was a fairly good American a week ago when I came into your State, but I am a better one now.

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

The Y. M. C. A. stands for so much because it represents the work of men and women who to a generous enthusiasm for their fellows, to a lofty ideal of service for the Giver of good, and for all mankind, join the power to realize that ideal in practical ways.

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

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

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

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