You Can't Increase Prosperity By Taxing Success.

We Want Wealth, But There Are Many Other Things We Want Very Much More. Among Them Are Peace, Honor, Charity, And Idealism.

The More I Study It [the Constitution], The More I Have Come To Admire It, Realizing That No Other Document Devised By The Hand Of Man Ever Brought So Much Progress And Happiness To Humanity.

It Is Accordance With Our Determination To Refrain From Aggression And Build Up A Sentiment And Practice Among Nations More Favorable To Peace, That We Ratified A Treaty For The Limitation Of Naval Armaments Made In 1921, Earnestly Sought For A Further Extension Of This Principle In 1927, And Have Secured The Consent Of Fourteen Important Nations To The Negotiation Of A Treaty Condemning Recourse To War, Renouncing It Is An Instrument Of National Policy, And Pledging Each Other To Seek No Solution Of Their Disagreements Except By Pacific Means.

Governments Do Not Make Ideals, But Ideals Make Governments. This Is Both Historically And Logically True. Of Course The Government Can Help To Sustain Ideals And Can Create Institutions Through Which They Can Be The Better Observed, But Their Source By Their Very Nature Is In The People. The People Have To Bear Their Own Responsibilities. There Is No Method By Which That Burden Can Be Shifted To The Government. It Is Not The Enactment, But The Observance Of Laws, That Creates The Character Of A Nation.

Prosperity Cannot Be Divorced From Humanity.
