Teddy Roosevelt: “No blow has been struck except for liberty and humanity, and none will be.”

The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be cynic, or fop, or voluptuary.

Character must show itself in the man's performance both of the duty he owes himself and of the duty he owes the State.

I care for the great deeds of the past chiefly as spurs to drive us onward in the present.

Therefore I hope that so far as possible the people may be given the chance, through direct primaries, to express their preference as to who shall be the nominee of the Republican Presidential Convention.
