Henry Cabot Lodge: “His ready smile and contagious laugh made countless friends and saved him from many an enmity.”

His ideal of public service was to be found in his life, and as his life drew to its close he had to meet his ideal of sacrifice face to face.

His country asked the sacrifice and he gave it with solemn pride and uncomplaining lips.

But his own personal ideals he never attempted to thrust upon the world until the day came when they were to be translated into realities of action.

So Valiant-for-Truth passed over and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.
