"As long as people are interested in the welfare of the Government, as you are interested in it, I haven't any doubt as to its stability and its lasting power."

"You are making a great contribution, just as great as you made in the wartime."

"It was my very great privilege to have General Marshall as Chief of Staff, when I became president of the United States."

"When it is time for them to be moved on, I do the moving-nobody else."
