The stage is set, the destiny disclosed.

We cannot turn back. We can only go forward, with lifted eyes and freshened spirit, to follow the vision.

I must make my choice between these two duties, and I confidently hope that the people of the country will think that I am making the right choice.

It is also my duty to be in close contact with the public business during session of the Congress.

A group of men in the Senate have deliberately chosen to embarrass the administration of the Government.

It is plainly my present duty to attend the Peace Conference in Paris.

I did not feel that the greeting was personal.

I have nowhere seen the gleam of passion.

It warms my heart to see a great body of my fellow-citizens again.

Men were fighting with tense muscles and lowered heads until they came to realize those things.

I have been trying my best to speak your thoughts.

The proudest thing I have to report to you is that this great country of ours is trusted throughout the world.

We set this nation up to make men free.

I will cooperate with great happiness in the plans that you may form after my return, and I thank you very warmly for the compliment of this personal visit.

One advantage in seeing one another and talking with one another is to find that, after all, we all think the same way.

I can only say for myself that I sincerely hope it can be.

I have often been thought of as a man more interested in principles than in practice, whereas, as a matter of fact, I can say that in one sense principles have never interested me.

You have not only done me a great honor, but you have touched me very much by this unexpected tribute; and may I add that you have frightened me?
