A good government may, indeed, redress the grievances of an injured people; but a strong people can alone build up a great nation.

The prosperity of a nation requires the protection of a senate. Hereafter a national senate may require the protection of a national army.

We must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people but because of what people did for themselves and for one another.

We, the people of the United States, we are a great Nation with a great vision.

The glory of the old Irish nation, which in our hour will grow young and strong again. Should we fail, the country will not be worth more than it is now. The sword of famine is less sparing than the bayonet of the soldier.

A good government remains the greatest of human blessings and no nation has ever enjoyed it.
