To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.

Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided; but they are far better than certain kinds of peace.

We are face to face with our destiny and we must meet it with high and resolute courage. For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out.

We can have no "50-50" allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.

We cannot afford merely to sit down and deplore the evils of city life as inevitable, when cities are constantly growing, both absolutely and relatively. We must set ourselves vigorously about the task of improving them; and this task is now well begun.
