I have a very deep appreciation of the courtesies you have shown me.

I shall say but one word of thanks to you tonight.

Good night.

I do indeed appreciate the reception you have given me in this, the oldest historic city in the United States.

If we treat the mighty heroes of the past merely as excuses for sitting lazily down in the present, or for standing aside from the rough work of the world, then these memories will prove a curse instead of a blessing.

It is a matter of special pride to us that our nation, the American nation, should have undertaken the performance of this world duty.

We are knit together by the bond of our common interests in the future.

If you go to a man and he says that if the people want it he will do something that is wrong in their interests, you can make up your minds you have got a man who, if he takes up his own interests, will do something wrong to the people in…

We do not wish another foot of territory; and I think our conduct toward Cuba is a guaranty that this is our genuine attitude toward all our sister republics.

This government is not, and never shall be, the government of a mob.

If you get any man who is willing to do wrong for you, if it is to his interests, he will do wrong to you.

If he is a straight man we should be for him, and if he is a crooked man we should be against him.

The work can be done, is being done, and will be done.

The minute that these republics develop rich men who will look down on the poor, and poor and envious men who hate and wish for the disposal of the rich; the minute that those classes develop in any republic, the day of that republic's…

Above all we should treat with a peculiarly contemptuous abhorrence the man who in a spirit of sheer cynicism debauches either our business life or our political life.

Presidents may come and Presidents may go, but Uncle Remus stays, put.

We can not afford in this country to draw the distinction as between rich man and poor man.

Now, I do not wish to be misunderstood.
