"Sometimes people grow so familiar with their surroundings that they fail entirely to appreciate them."

"When I come here to California I am not in the West, I am west of the West."

"We have begun to take our position as a world power, a power situated on a continent fronting on two oceans, and we must have a navy to assert our position."

"The business man or politician who does not tell the truth cheats; and for the cheat we should have no use in any walk of life."
