It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles.
The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be cynic, or fop, or voluptuary.
I want every labor man, every labor leader, every organized union man, to take the lead in denouncing crime or violence.
I will accept the nomination for President if it is tendered to me, and I will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed its preference.
