“God did not intend the human family to be wafted to heaven on flowery beds of ease.”

“Patriotism was a living fire of unquestioned belief and purpose.”

“Some one has said that most of us don't think, we just occasionally rearrange our prejudices.”

“I believe with all my heart that civilization has produced nothing finer than a man or woman who thinks and practices true tolerance.”

“I suspect that even today, with all the progress we have made in liberal thought, the quality of true tolerance is as rare as the quality of mercy.”

“No matter what happens, the U.S. Navy is not going to be caught napping.”
