Henry Cabot Lodge: “The subject has not only attracted attention as a question of politics, but it has struck a far deeper-toned chord.”

No man ever prized sentiment or hated sentimentality more than he.

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.

Some of them were the dreams of boyhood, from which he never departed, and which I have seen him carry out shyly and yet thoroughly and with intense personal satisfaction.

He was unfailingly attractive, because he was always perfectly natural and his own unconscious self.
