Trust one who has gone through it.

A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.

When wombats do inspire/I strike my disused lyre

I would rather go out of politics having the feeling that I had done what was right than stay in with the approval of all men$$$ knowing in my heart that I have acted as I ought not to.

No ability$$$ no strength and force$$$ no power of intellect or power of wealth$$$ shall avail us$$$ if we have not the root of right living in us.

If there is not the war$$$ you don't get the great general; if there is not a great occasion$$$ you don't get a great statesman; if Lincoln had lived in a time of peace$$$ no one would have known his name.

The longer I live the more I think of the quality of fortitude... men who fall$$$ pick themselves up and stumble on$$$ fall again$$$ and are trying to get back up when they die.

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.

Americanism is a question of principle$$$ of idealism$$$ of character. It is not a matter of birthplace$$$ or creed$$$ or line of descent.

It tires me to talk to rich men. You expect a man of millions$$$ the head of a great industry$$$ to be a man worth hearing; but as a rule they don't know anything outside their own business.
