If he is worth his salt he will work.

The thing that has impressed me more than anything else in addressing the different audiences is that a good American is a good American in whatever part of this country he lives.

This is to be my last day in California, and I leave the State with the liveliest appreciation of the courtesy with which I have been received.

Success will come in the long run to the man or the nation possessing the attributes that have conquered success from the days when we first have written records of the nations of mankind.

I am impressed, as every man must be, with what our nation is to have within its borders a State such as this.

The essential thing in any State is the character of the average man or woman.

Most of all I have enjoyed seeing you, the men and women of California.

Our government is based upon the rule of a self-respecting majority.

I am glad to meet all of you.

I congratulate you upon all the crops, but especially upon the children.

We cannot be dragged up, we have got to push ourselves up.

I hardly think that you yourselves can realize what a wonderful State it is, a State as large and as diversified as many an Old World empire.

I envy the man who has a work worth doing and does it well;

It is a great pleasure to see you to-day.

I have been astonished and delighted with your extraordinary success in so many different types of industries—mining, agriculture of so many kinds, manufacturing, your wonderful commerce.

I believe in you with all my heart and I believe that the century that is opening contains the promise of the greatest achievement for this nation that any nation has ever enjoyed since the dim days when history dawned.

But pleased though I am to see your abounding material prosperity, the products of your soil, the thing I am most pleased with is you yourselves, the men and women.

There is no body of men and women in all our country to whom so much is owing as to those who are training the next generation.

Instead of the life of ease I preach to all worthy to be called men, the life of work, the life of endeavor.

We stand on the threshold of a new century.

I want to say a word to the teachers.

It is particularly a pleasure to be in a State already great, and yet with an infinitely greater future before it.

The future of the State depends not upon what is material, for that you can produce if you have the heart, the hand, and the head to do it; it depends upon the quality of heart, hand and head in the average American.

The next generation determines the fate of this country.

I am proud of you, proud to be your fellow-citizen.
