Year by year this Nation grows in strength and worldly power.

In the nation as in the individual, in the long run it is character that counts.

Nowhere else in the world is the average of individual comfort and material well-being as high as in our fortunate land.

The growth in wealth and population has surpassed even the growth in territory.

Strive with all the strength that is given us for righteousness in public and in private life.

I advocate that the United States build a navy commensurate with its powers and its needs, because I feel that such a navy will be the surest guaranty and safeguard of peace.

We are not a military nation.

I can not too emphatically say that this is a measure of peace and not of war.

The United States can hope for a permanent career of peace on only one condition, and that is, on condition of building and maintaining a first-class navy.

To carry out this policy is but to act in the spirit of George Washington.
