Our Differences Are Policies; Our Agreements, Principles.

I Do Not Prize The Word Cheap. It Is Not A Word Of Inspiration. It Is The Badge Of Poverty, The Signal Of Distress. Cheap Merchandise Means Cheap Men And Cheap Men Mean A Cheap Country.

I Went Down On My Knees And Prayed To Almighty God For Light And Guidance And One Night Late It Came To Me This Way. We Could Not Leave (the Philippines) To Themselves-they Were Unfit For Self-government-and They Would Soon Have Anarchy And Misrule Over There Worse Than Spain's Was. There Was Nothing Left For Us To Do But Take Them All And Educate The Filipinos, And Uplift And Christianize Them.

Unlike Any Other Nation, Here The People Rule, And Their Will Is The Supreme Law. It Is Sometimes Sneeringly Said By Those Who Do Not Like Free Government, That Here We Count Heads. True, Heads Are Counted, But Brains Also . . .

That's All A Man Can Hope For During His Lifetime - To Set An Example - And When He Is Dead, To Be An Inspiration For History.
