Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.

How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism… The one absolutely certain way of brining this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.

Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

I rebel; therefore I exist.

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
