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.”
