There is not a man in the country that can't make a living for himself and family. The health of nations is more important than the wealth of nations. Live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip. If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone 'America died from a delusion that she had moral leadership'. I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons. I have always said that a conference was held for one reason only, to give everybody chance to get sore at everybody else. Sometimes it takes two or three conferences to scare up a war, but generally one will do it. I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf will. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you can get so sore at yourself that you forget to hate your enemies. I guess the only way to stop divorce is to stop marriage. Golf is a wonderful exercise. You can stand on your feet for hours, watching somebody else putt. Being a hero is about the shortest-lived profession on earth. |
