Halaman 356 - Would it not be well to begin with the league which we actually have in existence, the league of the allies who have fought through this great war?

Then let us agree to extend the privileges of the league as rapidly as their conduct warrants it to other nations...
Halaman 126 - I am by inheritance and by education a Republican; whatever good I have been able to accomplish in public life has been accomplished through the Republican party ; I have acted with it in the past, and wish to act with it in the future...
Halaman 235 - All success to you and your associates! You are teaching the lesson that none need more to learn than we of the West, we of the eager, restless, wealth-seeking nation; the lesson that after a certain not very high level of material well-being has been reached, then the things that really count in life are the things of the spirit. Factories and railways are good up to a certain point, but courage and endurance, love of wife and child, love of home and country, love of lover for sweetheart, love of...
Halaman 41 - I jumped with delight when I found you had heard a mocking-bird," and again when he says "Tell me how many curiosities and living things you have got for me." Insatiable lover of knowledge as he was, it was difficult indeed for his parents to keep pace with his thirst for "outward and visible signs of the things that be.
