Benjamin Harrison actually said...

"To look upon his face, to hear his name, was to have one's love of country intensified."

"He served his country, not for fame, not out of a sense of professional duty, but for love of the flag and of the beneficent civil institutions of which it was the emblem."

"No living American was so loved and venerated as he."

"To officers of the Navy his life will continue to yield inspiration and encouragement."
