Honorable Senators: My Sincerest Thanks I Offer

We Demand Entire Freedom Of Action And Then Expect The Government In Some Miraculous Way To Save Us From The Consequences Of Our Own Acts.... Self-government Means Self-reliance.

Because Of What America Is And What America Has Done, A Firmer Courage, A Higher Hope, Inspires The Heart Of All Humanity.

Under Our Institutions The Only Way To Perfect The Government Is To Perfect The Individual Citizen. It Is Necessary To Reach The Mind And Soul Of The Individual. I Know Of No Way That This Can Be Done Save Through The Influence Of Religion And Education. By Religion I Do Not Mean Fanaticism Or Bigotry; By Education I Do Not Mean The Cant Of The Schools, But A Broad And Tolerant Faith, Loving Thy Neighbor As Thyself, And A Training And Experience That Enables The Human Mind To See Into The Heart Of Things.

The Government Of A Country Never Gets Ahead Of The Religion Of A Country. There Is No Way By Which We Can Substitute The Authority Of The Law For The Virtues Of Men.

The Strength Of A Country Is The Strength Of Its Religious Convictions.
