I sincerely regret the unfortunate choice of language which I used in my letter of August 29 to Congressman McDonough concerning the Marine Corps.

Work Hard. Do your best. Keep your word. Never get too big for your britches. Trust in God. Have no fear; and Never forget a friend.

Death is not an end. It is a new impulse.

You pick out the big men! I'll make them brave!

You can't remain inactive in the face of injustice without, to some extent, being guilty of it.

What we have to be is what we are.
