Quotes

  • I am a Unitarian. I believe in God. I do not believe in the divinity of Christ, and there are many postulates of the orthodox creed to which I cannot subscribe.
  • The welfare of the farmer is vital to that of the whole country.
  • If humor be the safety of our race, then it is due largely to the infusion into the American people of the Irish brain.
  • We are all imperfect. We can not expect perfect government.
  • I have come to the conclusion that the major part of the work of a President is to increase the gate receipts of expositions and fairs and bring tourists to town.
  • I am in favor of helping the prosperity of all countries because, when we are all prosperous, the trade of each becomes more valuable to the other.
