"The true welfare of the nation is indissolubly bound up in the welfare of the farmer and wage-worker; of the man who tills the soil, and of the mechanic, the handicraftsman, and the laborer. The poorest motto upon which an American can act is the motto of 'some men down,' and the safest to follow is that of 'all men up.'"
--_Extract from Speech delivered at the Dedication of the Pan-American Fair Buildings._
"The men we need are the men of strong, earnest, solid character--the men who possess the homely virtues, and who to these virtues add rugged courage, rugged honesty, and high resolve."
--_Extract from Speech delivered upon the Life of General Grant._
