"In the long run, the most unpleasant..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.”

“When liberty becomes license, some form of one-man power is not far distant.”

“We do not admire a man of timid peace.”

“What's the difference between yes and no?”

“It is nobler to declare oneself wrong than to insist on being right --especially when one is right.”

“Thus rhetoric, it seems, is a producer of persuasion for belief, not for instruction in the matter of right and wrong ... And so the rhetorician's business is not to instruct a law court or a public meeting in matters of right and wrong, but only to make them believe.”

“A sense of humor is the one thing no one will admit to not having.”

“Tis not the many oaths that make the truth; But the plain single vow, that is vow'd true.”

“A full and candid admission of one's mistakes should make proof against its repetition.”
