I don't care a rap for the man who is afraid to make an enemy.

The American people are not to be pitied for the fact that they have to fight for their rights.

Of course, I shall be a candidate for president.

I am an American and I am for America first.

I have always been a believer in the doctrine that the nation which expects to be great must be able to fight.

There are some things that are worse than war, and slavery is one of them.

I am not in the least concerned with the abstract rights of the matter, but with the concrete facts.

I have a perfect horror of the man who is always trying to get something for nothing.

I believe in the joy of living; and I believe that the greatest joy of living is to be found in striving to do something for others.

The greatest danger that can come to a nation is to have its institutions so encrusted that it cannot change them.

I am not afraid of the future, for I believe in the American people.

We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag of the anarchist.

The prime need of the hour is to keep the white race strong and virile.

I have never been able to understand why a man should not be proud of his race.

I believe that the white man is the only man who can make a success of this country.

No nation can be great unless it is a nation of men.

I believe that the only way to get a man to do what you want him to do is to make him want to do it.

The most ultimately righteous of all wars is a war with savages.
