"This treaty could not be executed without such a powerful instrumentality."
"I am in favor of it because I am an American and a believer in humanity."
"The heart and center of this treaty is that it sets at liberty people all over Europe and in Asia who had hitherto been enslaved by powers which were not their rightful sovereigns and masters."
"We have got to serve humanity."
