It is a great pleasure for me to address you upon this beautiful spring morning.

Each of you as he moved forward into battle was immensely interested in the man on his right and the man on his left.

It is not sympathy I feel for you, but admiration.

I would preach to my countrymen not the life of ease; not the effortless life of comfort, of avoidance of risk, and avoidance of trouble.

I feel that I am not a stranger among you as I was engaged for 20 years in the cow-business in this State.

It is a fitting thing to be introduced on Decoration Day by a United States senator, who not only served in the great Civil War, but to whom it was given to win the highest treasure that can come to any American soldier, the medal of honor…

We can not afford, if we are to make this republic true to its promise, if we are to make its mighty future as essentially great as is its past, we cannot, as citizens, afford to sunder in the deep matters along lines other than the lines…

It is the same thing now in civil life.

Precept is a very good thing, but to my thinking an ounce of practical energy is worth any amount of precept without action.

We must play a big part. We can play it badly or play it well—but play it we have got to.

We can go up—as we shall go up—only by each of us keeping in mind not merely his own rights, but his duties to his neighbors.

You literally made the wilderness blossom as the rose.

Don't draw unless you mean to shoot.

The greatest lesson which the American body politic need take to heart, at the beginning of the twentieth century, is that it is out of the question permanently for our people to progress save on lines that tell for the progression of all.

I believe in the Monroe Doctrine with all my heart and soul, and I intend to see that it is made good.
