Great Benjamin Harrison Quote

Such as:

We Americans have no commission from God to police the world.


The bud of victory is always in the truth.


When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law? (Certainly ahead of his time on that one!)


“Will it not be wise to allow the friendship between nations to rest upon deep and permanent things? Irritations of the cuticle must not be confounded with heart failure.


There are also some I'm not so fond of, but I'll leave it to you to explore those on your own.
