Henry Cabot Lodge: “Energy, ability, and the most entire courage were the secret of his extraordinary success.”

His ideal of public service was to be found in his life, and as his life drew to its close he had to meet his ideal of sacrifice face to face.

Of all the ideals that lift men up, the hardest to fulfill is the ideal of sacrifice.

His country asked the sacrifice and he gave it with solemn pride and uncomplaining lips.

But his own personal ideals he never attempted to thrust upon the world until the day came when they were to be translated into realities of action.
