“Newspaper editors are men who separate the wheat from the chaff, and then print the chaff.”

The human race has improved everything, but the human race.

By better cars on longer credit terms.

On this shrunken globe, men can no longer live as strangers.

We travel together, passengers on a little spaceship

But a newspaper can always print a retraction.

The free press is the mother of all our liberties and of our progress under liberty.

I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.

Ignorance is stubborn and prejudice is hard.

On the plains of hesitation lie the blackened bones of countless millions who at the dawn of victory lay down to rest, and in resting died.

He who slings mud generally loses ground.

In America any boy may become President, and I suppose it’s just one of the risks he takes.

You know, you really can’t beat a household commodity

Man has wrested from nature the power to make the world a desert or make the deserts bloom.

The best reason I can think of for not running for President of the United States is that you have to shave twice a day.

Then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation.

But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.

A friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of one’s heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
