I shall only say how glad I am to be here, bid you welcome with all my heart, and say how thoroughly I believe in you, and that I am a better American for being among you.

I want to see you play hard while you play, and when you work do not play at all.

I have enjoyed every hour I have been in your beautiful and wonderful State.

This is the first glimpse I have ever had of the big trees.

We should keep the trees as we should keep great stretches of the wildernesses as a heritage for our children and our children's children.

Where the individuals and associations of individuals cannot preserve them, the State, and, if necessary, the nation, should step in and see to their preservation.

We must have a first-class navy.

I am glad to have seen you.

I want to thank you very much for your courtesy in receiving me.

I believe in you with all my heart and soul, and I believe that your future will be even greater than your past.

Today, for the first time in my life, I have seen the greatest of the oceans; I have come across the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific; from the East to the West.

If any one lies, if he has the habit of untruthfulness, you cannot deal with him, because there is nothing to depend on.

I think I was a pretty good American when I came here, but I feel that I am a better American now.

I am glad to see what has been done by your beet culture, fruit culture of every kind, irrigation, and tilling of the soil.

The qualities needed to solve aright the problems of today are the same qualities that were needed by the men who in 1861 found themselves confronted with the question of whether or not this country should remain all united and free, or…
