Good laws can do much. Good administration of the laws can do much.

I have felt that the events of the last five or six years have been steadily hastening the day when the Pacific will loom in the world's commerce as the Atlantic now looms.

You seem to be all right in quality and in quantity.

I wish to congratulate the men and women of this city upon the children.

I have looked forward toward visiting your wonderful and beautiful State for years, and I am so glad of having the chance of being here.

I am enjoying so much coming into California.

Back of the law stands the man; just exactly as in battle it is the man behind the gun that counts most, even more than the gun.

I earnestly wish that I could have many another community learn from you how you have handled your business.

I am glad to be welcomed by all of you, but most of all by the men of the Grand Army, and after them by my own comrades of the National Guard.

I want to say what a pleasure it is to see you.

We need strong bodies.

I think our citizens are more and more realizing that they wish to perpetuate the things that are of use and also the things that are of beauty.

I wish to say how glad I am to see you.

I cannot say to you how much I have looked forward to making the trip.

I am glad to see you, I believe in you, and I thank you.

I greet you today. I am glad to be here in your beautiful country.

More than that we need strong minds, and finally we need what counts for more than body, for more than mind—character.

Down at bottom we are the same people all through.
