The bravest sight in all this world is a man fighting against odds.

No man should have a political office because he wants a job.

It is work and personal worth which make a State great both politically and industrially, and in my estimation they are to be found in largest proportions in the Democratic party.

I am whatever you make me, nothing more. I am your belief in yourself, your dream of what a people may become.... I am the clutch of an idea, and the reasoned purpose of resolution. I am no more than you believe me to be and I am all that you believe I can be. I am whatever you make me, nothing more.

A public office is not a job, it is an opportunity to do something for the public.

I am not the flag: not at all. I am but its shadow.

Newspaper men, perhaps more than any other class, are rated by ability.
