No man can sit down and withhold his hands from the warfare against wrong and get peace from his acquiescence. - Woodrow Wilson

You know that it was Jefferson who said that the best government is that which does as little governing as possible…. But that time is passed. America is not now and cannot in the future be a place for unrestricted individual enterprise.

There is a very great thrill to be had from the memories of the American Revolution, but the American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation, and the duty laid upon us by that beginning is the duty of bringing the things then begun to a noble triumph of completion.

There is nothing that succeeds in life like boldness, provided you believe you are on the right side.
