“I don't know what the next American revolution is going to be like, but we might be able to imagine it if your imagination were rich enough.”

“I warn you, I'm a terrible housekeeper.”

“So we need people who will remain steadfast in any hardship and who have a high degree of resistance.”

“If there is to be peace in our industrial life let the employer recognize his obligation to his employees - at least to the degree set forth in existing statutes.”

“It would be difficult to exaggerate the degree to which we are influenced by those we influence.”
