The time is coming, and I do not believe it is far ahead, when it will not be respectable not to be interested in public affairs.

Few changes can mean so much.
Among the first duties of every man is to help in bringing the Kingdom of God on earth.

The greatest human power for good, the most efficient earthly tool for the future uplifting of the nations, is without question the United States; and the presence or absence of a vital public spirit in the young men of the United States will determine the quality of that great tool and the work that it can do.

This is the final object of the best citizenship.

Public spirit is the means by which every man can help toward this great end.
