"I believe, my fellow countrymen, that the only people in Europe who instinctively realized what was going to happen and what did happen in 1914 was the French people."

"For, my fellow citizens, what does not seem to me realized in this blessed country of ours is the fact that the world is in revolution."

"We ought to give our thought to this, gentlemen: America, though we do not like to admit it, has been very provincial in regard to the world's business."

"It is a great method of common counsel with regard to the common interests of mankind."
