"If you have to choose between being noxious and merely harmless, of course, choose to be harmless."

"Have high ideals but try to realize them in practical shape."

"I demand that the nation do its duty, accept responsibility that must go with greatness."

"I am very glad to be traveling through Massachusetts, to see your beautiful country, your landscape and rivers, your factories, and, above all, your men and women."
