"I am strongly of the belief that during the period when the scientist must labor in his laboratory inventing relief the Government must have restraint against excessive sin."

"We know that such ideas are anathema to the American mind, and no man could be elected a county commissioner on such a platform."

"We know there is neither financial, territorial, nor military imperialism in the American heart."
