"Then it will lie with you to see what kind of a State you make of it."

"You cannot afford to let any man represent you in public life if he is crooked."

"I believe you are paying heed to the education of the young people, of these girls and boys that I see before me, who in ten or fifteen years will be running things."

"Remember that there is only one way in which the ordinary college graduate can benefit his alma mater."
