Silence Can Never Be Misquoted.

There Has Been Abroad Many Times Some Criticism Of Our Government, Of Our People, And Our Ways, But That Has Demonstrated, I Think, That When They Are In Real Trouble And Real Difficulty Over There, They Turn To Us As A Nation That Will Be Fair With Them--one In Whose Judgment And In Whose Character They Can Rely; And That Not Withstanding Differences That Have Seemed To Exist, They Are Willing To Abide By The Faith That They Have In Us, And I Think That Is A Very Substantial Accomplishment.

Nations Are Beginning To Look To Some Vague Organization, Some Nebulous Course Of Humanity, To Pay Their Bills And Tell Them What To Do. This Is Not Local Self-government. It Is Not American. It Is Not The Method Which Has Made This Country What It Is. We Can Not Maintain The Western Standard Of Civilization On That Theory. If It Is Supported At All, It Will Have To Be Supported On The Principle Of Individual Responsibility.

If We Expect Others To Rely On Our Fairness And Justice We Must Show That We Rely On Their Fairness And Justice.

We Must Have No Carelessness In Our Dealings With Public Property Or The Expenditure Of Public Money. Such A Condition Is Characteristic Either Of An Undeveloped People, Or Of A Decadent Civilization. America Is Neither.

Eat It Up, Make It Do, Wear It Out.
