In The Last Analysis, Our National Future

Does Anyone Believe For One Moment That The Progress We Have Made Would Have Been Possible Under Bureaucratic Control Of Any Government. This Country Was Founded Upon The Principle Of The Regulation Of Private Effort, Of Making Rules For The Game, And Under That System Alone Can We Look For The Same Success In The Future Which Has Been Ours In The Past. Our Position Today Is The Direct Result Of The Free Play Among Our People Of Private Competitive Effort.

Don’t Look For Society To Give You Permission To Be Yourself.

Do Not Let Yourselves Be Discouraged Or Embittered By The Smallness Of The Success You Are Likely To Achieve In Trying To Make Life Better. You Certainly Would Not Be Able, In A Single Generation, To Create An Earthly Paradise. Who Could Expect That? But, If You Make Life Ever So Little Better, You Will Have Done Splendidly, And Your Lives Will Have Been Worthwhile. Property May Be Destroyed And Money May Lose Its Purchasing Power; But, Character, Health, Knowledge And Good Judgement Will Always Be In Demand Under All Conditions.

The Finest Command Of Language Is Often Shown By Saying Nothing.

When We Are Flat On Our Backs There Is No Way To Look But Up.
