Henry Cabot Lodge: “He was both sincere and honest in religion, and had a real and submissive faith.”

Of all the ideals that lift men up, the hardest to fulfill is the ideal of sacrifice.

He was unfailingly attractive, because he was always perfectly natural and his own unconscious self.

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.

He preached unceasingly the familiar morals which lie at the bottom of both family and public life.
