If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

No party can command respect which sustains this year, what it opposed last.

In great contests, each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong.

World peace is not a party question.

I am persuaded, you will permit me to observe, that the path of true piety is so plain as to require but little political direction.

I am not talking about conventions, I am not thinking of such things. I am thinking merely of where does a great party like the Republican Party, what direction does it have to take, if it is going to be a useful agency for America.
