"All the elaborate functions of the government will be of no
avail, unless there abide in the people the simple, homely virtues of industry
and thrift, honesty and charity.
"Without these characteristics there can be no
advance in the general effectiveness of the government or the general welfare
of the people.
"All of our natural resources, all of our attempted industrial
organization, all of our guarantees of freedom will avail nothing without the
support of character.
"There can be no national greatness which does not rest
upon the personal integrity of the people."
