Our hearts have been touched.

We must add, so far as we can, the securities which suffering men everywhere demand.

Force can always be conquered, but the spirit of liberty never can be.

Confidence is the basis of everything that we must do.

I can not tell you how much complimented I am by your coming in person to give me this greeting.

And it has been our joy in these recent days to be associated with you in the victory which has liberated Italy and liberated the world.

The overwhelming welcome, the spontaneous welcome, the welcome that so evidently came from the heart, has been profoundly moving to me, sir.

It is very inspiring, sir, to feel how the human spirit is refreshed again and again from its original sources.

YOU make my heart very warm indeed by a welcome like this.

I want to reecho the hope that we may all work together for a great peace as distinguished from a mean peace.

I am aware, sir, that those of us who are now charged with the very great and serious responsibility of concluding the peace must think and act and confer in the presence of this opinion.

It is with a spirit of veneration, sir, and with a spirit I hope of emulation, that I stand in the presence of this monument and bring my greetings and the greetings of America with our homage to the great Mazzini.

Viva Italia!

The world is not going to consist now of great empires.

It has brought tears to my eyes, because I know that it comes from their hearts.

In standing in front of this monument, sir, I fully recognize the significance of what you have said.

I am not foolish enough to suppose that our decisions will be easy to arrive at, but the principles upon which they are to be arrived at ought to be indisputable.

Every just mind must condemn those who so debased the studies of men of science as to use them against humanity.
