1.我們必須成為民主制度的偉大兵工廠。對我們來講，這是同戰爭本身一樣嚴重的緊急狀況。我們必須以同樣的決心，同樣的緊迫感，同樣的愛國主義和犧牲精神來致力於我們的任務，就好象我們處在戰爭中表現的那樣。"We must be the great arsenal of democracy. For us, this is as grave an emergency as war itself. We must dedicate ourselves to our task with the same determination, the same urgency, the same patriotism, and the same spirit of sacrifice as we would in wartime."
2.生活好比橄欖球比賽，原則就是：奮力衝向底線。
"Life is like a football game; the principle is to drive hard for the goal line."
3.一位最佳領導者，是一位知人善任者，而在下屬甘心從事其職守時，領導要有自我約束力量，而不插手干涉他們。
"A great leader is one who knows how to delegate effectively and exercises self-restraint, refraining from interfering when subordinates willingly perform their duties."
4.天下最勇敢的事，莫過於勇敢到底的奮鬥。
"The bravest thing in the world is to fight to the very end."
5.實現明天理想的唯一障礙是今天的疑慮。
"The only obstacle to realizing tomorrow's dreams is today's doubts."
6.勇氣膽量，勤奮向上，自我控制，和聰敏機靈的努力，都是成功必不可少的要素。
"Courage, hard work, self-mastery, and intelligent effort are all essential to successful life."
7.失敗是痛苦的，更糟的是從來沒有去爭取成功。
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
8.一個偉大的民主制度，必須不斷進步，否則會漸變得不再偉大，甚至不再是民主。
"A great democracy has got to be progressive or it will soon cease to be great or a democracy."
9.曠野中所隱藏的情態是非筆墨所能形容的，語言無法揭示其奧秘、憂鬱和魅力。
"There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy, and its charm."
10.只有結合有意義的理想和實際的理智，才能產生一個值得歸屬且得人心的政府。
"In popular government results worth having can be achieved only by men who combine worthy ideals with practical good sense."
