15863 | Are the motives and purposes of the Senate, as they are day by day developed, such as would be satisfied with my selection? |
15863 | Are these papers to be regarded official because they have not only been presented but preserved in the public offices? |
15863 | How will such officials be likely to serve an Administration which they know does not trust them? |

13617 | When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law? |
13617 | When is that equality of influence which our form of government was intended to secure to the electors to be restored? |
13617 | Why should he have this advantage, one that is not given so far as I know in any other law fixing the forum of litigation between individuals? |
10893 | But who can limit the extent to which the federative principle may operate effectively? |
10893 | But would it not be salutary to give also the means of preventing their commission? |
10893 | Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? |

5025 | Were those States afterwards expelled from the Union by the war? |
5025 | When did they cease to be so? |
5025 | Where in any part of the globe can institutions be found so suited to their habits or so entitled to their love as their own free Constitution? |
5025 | Where in past history does a parallel exist to the public happiness which is within the reach of the people of the United States? |
5025 | Would such a trust and power be safe in such hands? |
5039 | But what happened? |

5039 | Given their vast internal base of operations, and their agents in foreign lands, what are the communist rulers trying to do? |
5039 | How far have we come during the last 10 years and how far can we go in the next 10? |
5039 | How have we handled our national finances? |
5039 | Or would we let it be submerged, wiped out, in post- war riots and reaction, as after World War I? |
5039 | Were we prepared, in peacetime, to keep on moving toward full realization of the democratic promise? |
5039 | What are these tasks? |
5039 | What have these steps been? |
5039 | What, then, of the future? |
5039 | Would the American economy collapse, after the war? |
5039 | Would there be another depression here-- a repetition of 1921 or 1929? |
13012 | But admitting that these two classes of citizens are to be benefited by expansion, would it be honest to give it? |

13012 | Is there not a disposition on one side to magnify wrongs and outrages, and on the other side to belittle them or justify them? |
13012 | Shall we refuse them? |
13012 | Shall we refuse them? |
13012 | What faith can an Executive put in officials forced upon him, and those, too, whom he has suspended for reason? |

5016 | Does Humanity weep at these painful separations from every thing, animate and inanimate, with which the young heart has become entwined? |
5016 | Doubtless it will be painful to leave the graves of their fathers; but what do they more than our ancestors did or than our children are now doing? |
5016 | If it be a bad one, why is it suffered to exist? |
5016 | If the States feel themselves competent to these objects, why should this Government wish to assume the power? |
5016 | If the existing system be a good one, why should it not be extended? |
5016 | Is it more afflicting to him to leave the graves of his fathers than it is to our brothers and children? |

5038 | Shall we abandon the reasonable support and regulation of banking? |
5038 | Shall we restore the dollar to its former gold content? |
5038 | Shall we say that values are restored and that the Congress will, therefore, repeal the laws under which we have been bringing them back? |
5038 | Shall we say to the unemployed and the aged,"Social security lies not within the province of the Federal Government; you must seek relief elsewhere?" |
5038 | That is your affair?" |
5038 | What were the terms of that new relationship? |
5038 | Why? |
5038 | Within those other Nations-- those which today must bear the primary, definite responsibility for jeopardizing world peace-- what hope lies? |
12463 | And for what cause would we endanger our glorious Union? |
12463 | As we extend its blessings over new regions, shall we be so unwise as to endanger its existence by geographical divisions and dissensions? |
12463 | Does he expect to find among the ruins of this Union a happier abode for our swarming millions than they now have under it? |
12463 | Has the sword of despots proved to be a safer or surer instrument of reform in government than enlightened reason? |
12463 | Is it to be conceived that such immense powers would have been left by the framers of the Constitution to mere inferences and doubtful constructions? |
12463 | Is it, then, an incidental power necessary and proper for the execution of any of the granted powers? |
12463 | Ought we now to disturb the Missouri and Texas compromises? |
12463 | Shall the dissimilarity of the domestic institutions in the different States prevent us from providing for them suitable governments? |

5022 | Between whom was the compact? |
5022 | But if it had moral authority over men''s consciences, to whom did this authority attach? |
5022 | But in what sense can it be asserted that the enactment in question was invested with perpetuity and entitled to the respect of a solemn Compact? |
5022 | Disunion for what? |
5022 | Does the spirit which has produced such results need to be stimulated or checked? |
5022 | In all this, if any aggression there were, any innovation upon preexisting rights, to which portion of the Union are they justly chargeable? |
5022 | Is it not the better rule to leave all these works to private enterprise, regulated and, when expedient, aided by the cooperation of States? |
5022 | What is the voice of history? |

14584 | If not, shall a temporary boundary be marked making the Oconee the line, and the other parts of the treaty be concluded? |
14584 | If not, what proportion?" |
14584 | If not, what proportion?" |
14584 | In other general objects shall the treaties formed at Hopewell with the Cherokees, Chickesaws, and Choctaws be the basis of a treaty with the Creeks? |
14584 | In this case shall a secure port be stipulated and the pecuniary and honorary considerations granted? |
14584 | In this the hour of our calamity and peril to whom shall we resort for relief but to the God of our fathers? |
14584 | Shall the commissioners be instructed to pursue any other measures respecting the Chickesaws and Choctaws than those herein suggested? |
14584 | Shall the sum of$ 20,000 appropriated to Indian expenses and treaties be wholly applied, if necessary, to a treaty with the Creeks? |
14584 | The remainder, viz:"If not, shall a temporary boundary be marked making the Oconee the line, and the other parts of the treaty be concluded?" |
14584 | Was the propriety of convening the Legislature at an earlier day than that on which it is to assemble by law considered yesterday? |
11314 | And can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? |
11314 | But if France persists in claiming this exemption, what is to be done? |
11314 | Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue? |
11314 | Institutions for promoting it grow up, supported by the public purse; and to what object can it be dedicated with greater propriety? |
11314 | Is there a doubt whether a common government can embrace so large a sphere? |
11314 | Or are there any greater or lesser sums which they would fix on as the limits beyond which they would not approve of such treaty? |
11314 | Or is there any, and what, greater or lesser sum which they would fix on as the limit beyond which they would not approve the ransom? |

11314 | Shall the United States stipulate solemnly to guarantee the new boundary which may be arranged? |
11314 | Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? |
11314 | Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? |
11314 | Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? |
11314 | Will it not be their wisdom to rely for the preservation of these advantages on the union by which they were procured? |
11314 | Will they not henceforth be deaf to those advisers, if such there are, who would sever them from their brethren and connect them with aliens? |
11314 | is it rendered impossible by its vices? |
5046 | And is n''t that what we do best? |
5046 | And now, ladies and gentlemen of the Congress, why do n''t we get to work? |
5046 | And so, the question: If the fundamentals are in place, what now? |
5046 | Are we at the end? |
5046 | But should n''t we feel more compassion for the victims of crime than for those who commit crime? |
5046 | But then would it not be better to do away with them entirely? |
5046 | But unless and until it can be proven that an unborn child is not a living human being, can we justify assuming without proof that it is n''t? |
5046 | How can we help? |
5046 | How can we not believe in the greatness of America? |
5046 | How can we not do what is right and needed to preserve this last best hope of man on Earth? |
5046 | How could we do less? |
5046 | How should we accomplish this? |
5046 | How well prepared are we to enter the 21st century? |
5046 | Our second great goal is to build on America''s pioneer spirit-- I said something funny? |
5046 | Surprised you, did n''t I? |
5046 | The magic of opportunity-- unreserved, unfailing, unrestrained-- isn''t this the calling that unites us? |
5046 | Well, if this is true, why is the Constitution of the United States so exceptional? |
5046 | What brought America back? |
5046 | What has all this money done? |
5046 | Why ca n''t we? |
5046 | Why is it that we can build a nation with our prayers, but we ca n''t use a schoolroom for voluntary prayer? |
5046 | Why? |
5046 | Will you join me now, and we''ll walk this last mile together? |
5046 | Would you four stand up for a moment? |
5034 | And how are we to get the ships if we wait for the trade to develop without them? |
5034 | And what is it that it is suggested we should be prepared to do? |
5034 | And, if we can make ready what we have, have we the means at hand to distribute it? |
5034 | But all these necessities have now been served, and the question is, What is best for the railroads and for the public in the future? |
5034 | But it is worth while asking and answering the question, When shall we consider the war won? |
5034 | But who shall tell us now what sort of navy to build? |
5034 | Do we gain strength by withholding the remedy? |
5034 | Does it seem strange to you that this should be the conclusion of the argument I have just addressed to you? |
5034 | How are we to carry our goods to the empty markets of which I have spoken if we have not the ships? |
5034 | How shall we obtain the new revenue? |
5034 | I hear the voices of dissent- who does not? |
5034 | If asked, Are you ready to defend yourselves? |
5034 | In the meantime may I make this suggestion? |
5034 | Is it meant that we are not ready upon brief notice to put a nation in the field, a nation of men trained to arms? |
5034 | May I not say a special word about the needs of Belgium and northern France? |
5034 | May I not urge its early and favorable consideration by the House of Representatives and its early enactment into law? |
5034 | The question is not what should we undo? |
5034 | To defend ourselves against attack? |
5034 | To what sources, then, shall we turn? |
5034 | We have the resources, but are we fully ready to use them? |
5034 | What is meant by being prepared? |
5034 | What shall we do, then, to push this great war of freedom and justice to its righteous conclusion? |
5048 | And if we do n''t do it now, when will we ever get around to it? |
5048 | And let the final test of everything we do be a simple one: Is it good for the American people? |
5048 | And without blinking an eye, she looked at 40 governors and she said, when my boy goes to school and they say"What does your mother do for a living?" |
5048 | And, third, how do we meet these challenges together, as one America? |
5048 | Do we need common sense and fairness in our regulations? |
5048 | Do you believe we can become one nation? |
5048 | Do you believe we can create more jobs over the long run by cleaning the environment up? |
5048 | Do you believe we can expand the economy without hurting the environment? |
5048 | How many other families have never had that same opportunity? |
5048 | How will we mark that passage? |
5048 | Is it paid for? |
5048 | My tests for our proposals will be: Will it create jobs and raise incomes? |
5048 | Now why should Americans be concerned about this? |
5048 | Now, why? |
5048 | Second, how do we preserve our old and enduring values as we move into the future? |
5048 | Should we cut the deficit more? |
5048 | That was encouraging, you know? |
5048 | The title of a best- selling book asked:"America: What went wrong?" |
5048 | Tonight, my fellow Americans, we are summoned to answer a question as old as the republic itself, what is the state of our union? |
5048 | What are we to do about it? |
5048 | What does it mean? |
5048 | What does that mean? |
5048 | What should we do with this projected surplus? |
5048 | What we have to do in our day and generation to make sure that America truly becomes one nation, what do we have to do? |
5048 | Who would say that this age of possibility is not for all Americans? |
5048 | Who would say that, having come so far together, we will not go forward from here? |
5048 | Why do we want guaranteed private insurance? |
5048 | Will it build the middle class and shrink the underclass? |
5048 | Will it strengthen our families and support our children? |
5023 | Just satisfactionfor what? |
5023 | And why? |
5023 | As a good neighbor, shall we not extend to her a helping hand to save her? |
5023 | But are we to presume in advance that he will thus violate his duty? |
5023 | But by what authority are these denied? |
5023 | But can Congress only act after the fact, after the mischief has been done? |
5023 | But does not the present case fairly constitute an exception? |
5023 | But if we possessed this power, would it be wise to exercise it under existing circumstances? |
5023 | But is it beyond the power of a State, like an individual, to yield a portion of its sovereign rights to secure the remainder? |
5023 | But let this trade be reopened and what will be the effect? |
5023 | Have they no power to confer upon the President the authority in advance to furnish instant redress should such a case afterwards occur? |
5023 | How, then, can the result justify a revolution to destroy this very Constitution? |
5023 | In the meantime, who can foretell what would be the sufferings and privations of the people during its existence? |
5023 | Is it possible that such a country as this can be given up to anarchy and ruin without an effort from any quarter for its rescue and its safety? |
5023 | It may be asked, then, Are the people of the States without redress against the tyranny and oppression of the Federal Government? |
5023 | Must they wait until the mischief has been done, and can they apply the remedy only when it is too late? |
5023 | Shall we hold it as a province and govern it by despotic power? |
5023 | Suppose such a war should result in the conquest of a State; how are we to govern it afterwards? |
5023 | What has been the consequence? |
5023 | What, in the meantime, is the responsibility and true position of the Executive? |
5023 | Will the commercial nations of the world, which have so many interests connected with it, remain wholly indifferent to such a result? |
5024 | And as it is to so go at all events, may we not agree that the sooner the better? |
5024 | And if A and B should agree, how can they know but that the General Government here will reject their plan? |
5024 | And in any event, can not the North decide for itself whether to receive them? |
5024 | And why may we not continue that ratio far beyond that period? |
5024 | Are they not already in the land? |
5024 | But why any proclamation now upon this subject? |
5024 | But why should emancipation South send the free people North? |
5024 | But why tender the benefits of this provision only to a State government set up in this particular way? |
5024 | Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? |
5024 | Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? |
5024 | Can we, can they, by any other means so certainly or so speedily assure these vital objects? |
5024 | Could the one in any way greatly disturb the seven? |
5024 | Has it more waste surface by mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, or other causes? |
5024 | If, then, for a common object this property is to be sacrificed, is it not just that it be done at a common charge? |
5024 | If, then, we are at some time to be as populous as Europe, how soon? |
5024 | Is it doubted that it would restore the national authority and national prosperity and perpetuate both indefinitely? |
5024 | Is it doubted that we here-- Congress and Executive can secure its adoption? |
5024 | Is it doubted, then, that the plan I propose, if adopted, would shorten the war, and thus lessen its expenditure of money and of blood? |
5024 | Is it inferior to Europe in any natural advantage? |
5024 | Is it less fertile? |
5024 | Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? |
5024 | Is it true, then, that colored people can displace any more white labor by being free than by remaining slaves? |
5024 | It is not"Can any of us imagine better?" |
5024 | Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs,"Can we do better?" |
5024 | Why may not our country at some time average as many? |
5024 | Will liberation make them any more numerous? |
5024 | Will not the good people respond to a united and earnest appeal from us? |
5024 | but"Can we all do better?" |
11034 | And why should we expect it to be otherwise? |
11034 | Could not all the objects of graduation be accomplished in this way, and the objections which have hitherto been urged against it avoided? |
11034 | Does not this speak volumes to the patriot? |
11034 | If so, in what light are we to regard the continued acts of jurisdiction now exercised by him in the Madawaska settlement? |
11034 | If they were neither St. Lawrence nor Atlantic, why were they not excepted? |
11034 | Is not redress urgently called for? |
11034 | May it not be said, in the language of another,"Maine has not been treated as she endeavored to deserve"? |
11034 | May not all reasonable desires upon this subject be satisfied without encountering any of these objections? |
11034 | Must not this unoffending citizen be immediately released? |
11034 | Now, how are the facts? |
11034 | We ask, nay we demand, in the name of justice, HOW LONG we are to be thus trampled down by a foreign people? |
11034 | We would ask why, in what justice, if we can not find the object in the route prescribed, are we to be thus trammeled? |
11034 | What can be more gratifying than such a retrospect as this? |
11034 | What, then, has the Federal Government done for this State? |
11034 | Where is the_ reciprocity_ of such a proposition, so degrading to the dignity and insulting to the rights and liberties of this State? |
11034 | Why should such a line not be agreed to likewise for the boundary eastward from the river Connecticut? |
11034 | Will the public money when in their hands be necessarily exposed to any improper interference on the part of the Executive? |
11034 | Would any single measure be so effective in removing all plausible grounds for these intrusions as the graduation of price already suggested? |
50950 | After all, why would we choose to make deeper cuts to education and Medicare just to protect special interest tax breaks? |
50950 | And I know that with all the lobbying and horse- trading, the process left most Americans wondering,"What''s in it for me?" |
50950 | And finally, how can we make our politics reflect what''s best in us and not what''s worst? |
50950 | And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living? |
50950 | And the question is, how? |
50950 | And you know what else they share? |
50950 | But asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? |
50950 | Can you blame them for feeling a little cynical? |
50950 | Democrats and Republicans have supported it before, so what are we waiting for? |
50950 | Do we want to keep these tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans? |
50950 | Every day, we should ask ourselves three questions as a nation: How do we attract more jobs to our shores? |
50950 | First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? |
50950 | For those who make these claims, I have one simple question: How long should we wait? |
50950 | How do we equip our people with the skills they need to get those jobs? |
50950 | How does that promote growth? |
50950 | How is that fair? |
50950 | How long should America put its future on hold? |
50950 | I-- am I right? |
50950 | It''s why our students do n''t just memorize equations, but answer questions like:"What do you think of that idea? |
50950 | Or do we want to keep our investments in everything else, like education and medical research, a strong military and care for our veterans? |
50950 | Or will we commit ourselves to an economy that generates rising incomes and chances for everyone who makes the effort? |
50950 | Or will we face the future with confidence in who we are, in what we stand for, in the incredible things that we can do together? |
50950 | Or will we lead wisely, using all elements of our power to defeat new threats and protect our planet? |
50950 | Or will we recapture the sense of common purpose that has always propelled America forward? |
50950 | Second, how do we make technology work for us and not against us, especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? |
50950 | See? |
50950 | So what does middle class economics require in our time? |
50950 | Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman? |
50950 | What do you say, Joe? |
50950 | What do you want to be when you grow up?" |
50950 | What would you change about the world? |
50950 | What''s holding us back? |
50950 | Who benefited from that fiasco? |
50950 | Why are-- why would we be against that? |
50950 | Why is it that deficit reduction is a big emergency justifying making cuts in Social Security benefits, but not closing some loopholes? |
50950 | Why would that be a partisan issue, helping folks refinance? |
50950 | Why would we let that happen? |
50950 | Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well? |
50950 | Will we allow ourselves to be sorted into factions and turned against one another? |
50950 | Will we approach the world fearful and reactive, dragged into costly conflicts that strain our military and set back our standing? |
50950 | Will we respond to the changes of our time with fear, turning inward as a nation, turning against each other as a people? |
50950 | You want to show our strength in this new century? |
12464 | And why should not this be done? |
12464 | And why should our difference on this alone be pushed to extremes? |
12464 | But why not have limited the provision to that effect? |
12464 | Can anything be more fatal to the merchant or manufacturer than such an alliance? |
12464 | Can the Government be generous and munificent to others when every dollar it can command is necessary to supply its own wants? |
12464 | Do its provisions contradict its title? |
12464 | Does it violate the Constitution by creating a national bank to operate_ per se_ over the Union? |
12464 | If such is not meant, why postpone at all? |
12464 | In case of the seizure of such a vessel by a foreign cruiser, and of her being brought into a port of the United States, what is to be done with her? |
12464 | Is it for the accommodation of the Treasury? |
12464 | Is it objected that it is proposed to authorize the agencies to deal in bills of exchange? |
12464 | Is it such a bill as calls for the exercise of the negative power under the Constitution? |
12464 | Is the manufacturer prepared to stake himself and his interests upon such an issue? |
12464 | Is the measure now under consideration of the objectionable character to which I have alluded? |
12464 | Is this bill now presented for my approval or disapproval such a bill as I have already declared could not receive my sanction? |
12464 | Nay, is it not fairly to be presumed that this proviso was introduced for the sole purpose of meeting the contingency referred to? |
12464 | Shall she be libeled, prosecuted, and condemned as if arrested by a cruiser of the United States? |
12464 | Shall there be no discretionary authority permitted to refuse to become the instruments of such malevolence? |
12464 | V. What is to be considered as the northwestern head of Connecticut River? |
12464 | What can the local discounts of the bank have to do with the collecting, safe- keeping, and disbursing of the revenue? |
12464 | What influence have local discounts granted by any form of bank in the regulating of the currency and the exchanges? |
12464 | What interest of hers was affected by the treaty? |
12464 | What is the position of the northwest angle of Nova Scotia? |
12464 | What principle of good faith, then, was violated? |
12464 | What rule of political morals trampled under foot? |
12464 | What stream is to be understood by the name of the river St. Croix? |
12464 | Why else should it have been introduced? |
12464 | Why is a proceeding of this sort adopted at this time? |
12464 | Why not let the distribution take place on the 1st of July if the law so directs( which, however, is regarded as questionable)? |
12464 | Why should it be on this? |
12464 | Why urge matters to an extremity? |
11125 | And for what is five millions appropriated? |
11125 | And if either extreme carry its point, what is that so far forth but dissolution of the Union? |
11125 | Are we not too prone to forget that the Federal Union is the creature of the States, not they of the Federal Union? |
11125 | Between whom was the compact? |
11125 | But how should that convenient time be ascertained? |
11125 | But how? |
11125 | But if it had moral authority over men''s consciences, to whom did this authority attach? |
11125 | But in what sense can it be asserted that the enactment in question was invested with perpetuity and entitled to the respect of a solemn compact? |
11125 | But where does Congress get the power to purchase? |
11125 | Can it be claimed that any of these functions of local administration and legislation are vested in the Federal Government by any implication? |
11125 | Could a more decisive indication of the true construction and the spirit of the Constitution in regard to all matters of this nature have been given? |
11125 | Disunion for what? |
11125 | Do my countrymen need any assurance that such a catastrophe is not to overtake them while I possess the power to stay it? |
11125 | Does the spirit which has produced such results need to be stimulated or checked? |
11125 | In all this, if any aggression there were, any innovation upon preexisting rights, to which portion of the Union are they justly chargeable? |
11125 | Is it not the better rule to leave all these works to private enterprise, regulated and, when expedient, aided by the cooperation of States? |
11125 | Needful for any possible purpose within the whole range of the business of society and of Government? |
11125 | What does it embrace and what exclude? |
11125 | What is intended by the phrase"internal improvements"? |
11125 | What is the voice of history? |
11125 | What remains? |
11125 | When sectional agitators shall have succeeded in forcing on this issue, can their pretensions fail to be met by counter pretensions? |
11125 | Where will you begin and where end? |
11125 | Wherefore needful? |
11125 | Who does not appreciate the incalculable benefits of the acquisition of Louisiana? |
11125 | Who would rejoice to hail Texas as a lone star instead of one in the galaxy of States? |
11125 | Who would wish to see Florida still a European colony? |
11125 | Will not different States be compelled, respectively, to meet extremes with extremes? |
11125 | Without it what are we individually or collectively? |
10919 | And what has been the effect? |
10919 | Are not the latter clearly and evidently comprised in the former? |
10919 | At what time and in what manner would a new negotiation terminate? |
10919 | But it may be asked, If such was the intention, why were not all the other terms of the grant transferred with it? |
10919 | By what means shall we contribute most to cement the Union and give the greatest support to our most excellent Constitution? |
10919 | Can it be presumed that all these circumstances were so nicely adjusted by mere accident? |
10919 | Can they be punished? |
10919 | For what purpose? |
10919 | From whence do these pressures come? |
10919 | Have Congress a right to raise and appropriate the money to any and to every purpose according to their will and pleasure? |
10919 | Have such, or any, burthens been imposed to advance the system to its present state? |
10919 | Have they a right to exercise jurisdiction within those buildings? |
10919 | How carry it into effect? |
10919 | How did we accomplish the Revolution? |
10919 | How sustain and pass with glory through the late war? |
10919 | How, then, shall this revenue be applied? |
10919 | If that were done, to what consequences might it not lead? |
10919 | In explaining my sentiments on this subject it may be asked, What raised us to the present happy state? |
10919 | Is it contemplated to open a new negotiation respecting any of the articles or conditions of the treaty? |
10919 | Is it not more just to conclude that they were the result of due deliberation and design? |
10919 | Is this the time to make the pressure? |
10919 | On whom has oppression fallen in any quarter of our Union? |
10919 | Ought we not, then, to adopt every measure which may be necessary to perpetuate them? |
10919 | Shall we act by taking the ceded territory and proceeding to execute the other conditions of the treaty before this minister arrives and is heard? |
10919 | Should it be idle in the Treasury? |
10919 | Should war break out in any of those countries, who can foretell the extent to which it may be carried or the desolation which it may spread? |
10919 | The points on which you will have to decide are, What is fairly due for the services which were actually rendered? |
10919 | The question therefore is, What power is granted by that word? |
10919 | These great powers, embracing the whole scope of our foreign relations, being granted, on what principle can it be said that the minor are withheld? |
10919 | To what, then, do we owe these blessings? |
10919 | To whom were the charters granted, to the people of each colony or to the people of all the colonies as a single community? |
10919 | What are the dangers which menace us? |
10919 | What has been the progress since that time? |
10919 | What is the just import of these words and the extent of the grant? |
10919 | What produced the Revolution? |
10919 | What rights? |
10919 | Wherein consists the danger of giving a liberal construction to the right of Congress to raise and appropriate the public money? |
10919 | Who has been deprived of any right of person or property? |
10919 | Who restrained from offering his vows in the mode which he prefers to the Divine Author of his being? |
11202 | And can we justify ourselves to the people by longer lending to it the money and power of the Government to be employed for such purposes? |
11202 | And does it allow him to direct what particular notes shall or shall not be received for lands or for duties? |
11202 | And what is the occasion upon which other principles have been first officially asserted? |
11202 | But in what condition would he find that tribunal? |
11202 | But what was the result? |
11202 | Can it now be said that the question of a recharter of the bank was not decided at the election which ensued? |
11202 | Could he have said less in this branch of his message? |
11202 | Does France desire only a declaration that we had no intention to obtain our rights by an address to her fears rather than to her justice? |
11202 | Has the country been ruined, or even distressed? |
11202 | Has the warning voice of Washington been forgotten, or have designs already been formed to sever the Union? |
11202 | If such was its power in a time of peace, what would it not have been in a season of war, with an enemy at your doors? |
11202 | If the measure to which I alluded should be adopted and submitted to, what would His Majesty''s Government require? |
11202 | In fact, sir, what were those objections? |
11202 | In such a case what would be the character of the directors? |
11202 | In what respect does it differ from and how far will it change the joint resolution of April 30, 1816? |
11202 | Is a fiscal agent of the Government which thus seeks to enrich itself at the expense of the public worthy of further trust? |
11202 | Might he not be asked whether there was any such limitation to his obligations prescribed in the Constitution? |
11202 | The disavowal of any intent to influence the councils of France by threats? |
11202 | Was it ever more prosperous than since that act? |
11202 | Was it their duty to remain silent while abuses of the most injurious and dangerous character were daily practiced? |
11202 | Were they bound to disregard the call? |
11202 | What have you to gain by division and dissension? |
11202 | What was the cause of this desire to bring the business before the Chambers at an early day? |
11202 | What would be the sworn duty of the President? |
11202 | What, in fact, were they? |
11202 | What, then, was this engagement? |
11202 | What, then, were they? |
11202 | When shall it be commenced? |
11021 | Just satisfactionfor what? |
11021 | And what is the nature of the investigation which his resolution proposes to institute? |
11021 | And what law does not appertain to the rights of some State or Territory? |
11021 | And what law or laws has the President failed to execute? |
11021 | And why? |
11021 | As a good neighbor, shall we not extend to her a helping hand to save her? |
11021 | But are we to presume in advance that he will thus violate his duty? |
11021 | But by what authority are these denied? |
11021 | But can Congress only act after the fact, after the mischief has been done? |
11021 | But does not the present case fairly constitute an exception? |
11021 | But if we possessed this power, would it be wise to exercise it under existing circumstances? |
11021 | But in what manner is popular sovereignty to be exercised in this country if not through the instrumentality of established law? |
11021 | But is it beyond the power of a State, like an individual, to yield a portion of its sovereign rights to secure the remainder? |
11021 | But let this trade be reopened and what will be the effect? |
11021 | But should they fail to do this, what would be the consequence? |
11021 | But what was the duty of the President at the time the troops were ordered to this city? |
11021 | From what part of the Constitution is this terrible secret inquisitorial power derived? |
11021 | From which of the enumerated powers can it be inferred? |
11021 | Have they no power to confer upon the President the authority in advance to furnish instant redress should such a case afterwards occur? |
11021 | How, then, can the result justify a revolution to destroy this very Constitution? |
11021 | In the meantime, who can foretell what would be the sufferings and privations of the people during its existence? |
11021 | Is it possible that such a country as this can be given up to anarchy and ruin without an effort from any quarter for its rescue and its safety? |
11021 | It may be asked, then, Are the people of the States without redress against the tyranny and oppression of the Federal Government? |
11021 | Must they wait until the mischief has been done, and can they apply the remedy only when it is too late? |
11021 | Shall he alone not be"informed of the nature and cause of the accusation"against him? |
11021 | Shall he alone not"be confronted with the witnesses"against him? |
11021 | Shall he alone of all the citizens of the United States be denied a fair trial? |
11021 | Shall the Executive alone be deprived of rights which all his fellow- citizens enjoy? |
11021 | Shall we hold it as a province and govern it by despotic power? |
11021 | Such being the unfortunate condition of affairs in the Territory, what was the right as well as the duty of the law- abiding people? |
11021 | Suppose such a war should result in the conquest of a State; how are we to govern it afterwards? |
11021 | The power"to regulate:"Does this ever embrace the power to create or to construct? |
11021 | The question which now demands immediate decision is, What disposition shall be made of these Africans? |
11021 | What has been the consequence? |
11021 | What necessity exists for it? |
11021 | What, in the meantime, is the responsibility and true position of the Executive? |
11021 | What, then, was the object of the appropriation proposed by the bill? |
11021 | Which of the three powers named by Great Britain as an arbiter shall be chosen by the United States? |
11021 | Why should the House of Representatives desire to encroach on the other departments of the Government? |
11021 | Why should we impair or destroy the system at the present moment? |
11021 | Will the commercial nations of the world, which have so many interests connected with it, remain wholly indifferent to such a result? |
10858 | And for what, mistaken men? |
10858 | And if they were so disposed would it be the duty of this Government to protect them in the attempt? |
10858 | And is it supposed that the wandering savage has a stronger attachment to his home than the settled, civilized Christian? |
10858 | And unless they did would it not be the duty of the General Government to support them in resisting such a measure? |
10858 | And was the prosecution of such hostilities an usurpation in each case by the Executive which conducted them of the constitutional power of Congress? |
10858 | Are you free from the apprehension of civil discord, with all its fearful consequences? |
10858 | Are you really ready to incur its guilt? |
10858 | Are you united at home? |
10858 | Assuming these suggestions to be correct, will not our constituents require the observance of a course by which they can be effected? |
10858 | But if you were assembled in general convention, which would you think the safest depository of this discretionary power in the last resort? |
10858 | But will there ever be a time when this reason will be less powerful? |
10858 | Can the States who magnanimously surrendered their title to the territories of the West recall the grant? |
10858 | Can those sacrifices be recalled? |
10858 | Could the Indians establish a separate republic on each of their reservations in Ohio? |
10858 | Did the name of Washington sanction, did the States deliberately ratify, such an anomaly in the history of fundamental legislation? |
10858 | Did we pledge ourselves to the support of an airy nothing-- a bubble that must be blown away by the first breath of disaffection? |
10858 | Do our neighboring republics, every day suffering some new revolution or contending with some new insurrection, do they excite your envy? |
10858 | Does Humanity weep at these painful separations from everything, animate and inanimate, with which the young heart has become entwined? |
10858 | Does any such exist? |
10858 | Doubtless it will be painful to leave the graves of their fathers; but what do they more than our ancestors did or than our children are now doing? |
10858 | For how is that purpose to be ascertained? |
10858 | For what do you throw away these inestimable blessings? |
10858 | For what would you exchange your share in the advantages and honor of the Union? |
10858 | If it be a bad one, why is it suffered to exist? |
10858 | If not, what further alteration or modification will the Senate propose? |
10858 | If the States feel themselves competent to these objects, why should this Government wish to assume the power? |
10858 | If the existing system be a good one, why should it not be extended? |
10858 | If your leaders could succeed in establishing a separation, what would be your situation? |
10858 | Is it more afflicting to him to leave the graves of his fathers than it is to our brothers and children? |
10858 | Is it national and conducive to the benefit of the whole, or local and operating only to the advantage of a portion of the Union? |
10858 | Is the unconstitutionality of these laws of that description? |
10858 | Is there no danger to our liberty and independence in a bank that in its nature has so little to bind it to our country? |
10858 | May he not be tempted to name his reward? |
10858 | Or will the Senate advise the conclusion of a treaty with that tribe as modified by the alterations suggested by me? |
10858 | Ought they not to require it? |
10858 | Shall there be a free port in one State and onerous duties in another? |
10858 | Was our devotion paid to the wretched, inefficient, clumsy contrivance which this new doctrine would make it? |
10858 | Were we mistaken, my countrymen, in attaching this importance to the Constitution of our country? |
10858 | What are they? |
10858 | What is the meaning of the word_ palpable_ in the sense in which it is here used? |
10858 | What, then, shall be done? |
10858 | Which is the most discreet disposition of the power? |
10858 | Which is the supreme law of the land? |
10858 | Who is to make the scrutiny? |
10858 | Why is it that they have been called upon to assist in our wars without the privilege of exercising their own discretion? |
10858 | Would the people of Maine permit the Penobscot tribe to erect an independent government within their State? |
10858 | Would you add a clause giving it to each of the States, or would you sanction the wise provisions already made by your Constitution? |
12462 | And as it is to so go at all events, may we not agree that the sooner the better? |
12462 | And can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? |
12462 | And if A and B should agree, how can they know but that the General Government here will reject their plan? |
12462 | And in any event, can not the North decide for itself whether to receive them? |
12462 | And should anyone in any case be content that his oath shall go unkept on a merely unsubstantial controversy as to_ how_ it shall be kept? |
12462 | And why may we not continue that ratio far beyond that period? |
12462 | Are they not already in the land? |
12462 | But why any proclamation now upon this subject? |
12462 | But why should emancipation South send the free people North? |
12462 | But why tender the benefits of this provision only to a State government set up in this particular way? |
12462 | Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? |
12462 | Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? |
12462 | Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue? |
12462 | Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? |
12462 | Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? |
12462 | Can we, can they, by any other means so certainly or so speedily assure these vital objects? |
12462 | Could the one in any way greatly disturb the seven? |
12462 | Did we notify them of this sage view of ours when we borrowed their money? |
12462 | Has it more waste surface by mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, or other causes? |
12462 | If, then, for a common object this property is to be sacrificed, is it not just that it be done at a common charge? |
12462 | If, then, we are at some time to be as populous as Europe, how soon? |
12462 | In our present differences, is either party without faith of being in the right? |
12462 | Is it doubted that it would restore the national authority and national prosperity and perpetuate both indefinitely? |
12462 | Is it doubted that we here-- Congress and Executive-- can secure its adoption? |
12462 | Is it doubted, then, that the plan I propose, if adopted, would shorten the war, and thus lessen its expenditure of money and of blood? |
12462 | Is it inferior to Europe in any natural advantage? |
12462 | Is it just either that creditors shall go unpaid or the remaining States pay the whole? |
12462 | Is it just that she shall leave and pay no part of this herself? |
12462 | Is it just that she shall now be off without consent or without making any return? |
12462 | Is it just that they shall go off without leave and without refunding? |
12462 | Is it less fertile? |
12462 | Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory_ after_ separation than_ before_? |
12462 | Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory_ after_ separation than_ before_? |
12462 | Is it true, then, that any right plainly written in the Constitution has been denied? |
12462 | Is it true, then, that colored people can displace any more white labor by being free than by remaining slaves? |
12462 | Is there any better or equal hope in the world? |
12462 | Is there such perfect identity of interests among the States to compose a new union as to produce harmony only and prevent renewed secession? |
12462 | Is this quite just to creditors? |
12462 | It forces us to ask, Is there in all republics this inherent and fatal weakness? |
12462 | It is not"Can_ any_ of us_ imagine_ better?" |
12462 | Must a government of necessity be too_ strong_ for the liberties of its own people, or too_ weak_ to maintain its own existence? |
12462 | Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs,"Can we do better?" |
12462 | One party to a contract may violate it-- break it, so to speak-- but does it not require all to lawfully rescind it? |
12462 | Shall fugitives from labor be surrendered by national or by State authority? |
12462 | Shall they be admitted? |
12462 | To state the question more directly, Are all the laws_ but one_ to go unexecuted, and the Government itself go to pieces lest that one be violated? |
12462 | To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak? |
12462 | What is a"sovereignty"in the political sense of the term? |
12462 | Which of the three powers named by Great Britain as an arbiter shall be chosen by the United States? |
12462 | Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? |
12462 | Why may not our country at some time average as many? |
12462 | Why shall A adopt the plan of B rather than B that of A? |
12462 | Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? |
12462 | Why this deliberate pressing out of view the rights of men and the authority of the people? |
12462 | Why? |
12462 | Why? |
12462 | Will liberation make them any more numerous? |
12462 | Will not the good people respond to a united and earnest appeal from us? |
12462 | Will you hazard so desperate a step while there is any possibility that any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence? |
12462 | Will you not embrace it? |
12462 | Will you, while the certain ills you fly to are greater than all the real ones you fly from, will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake? |
12462 | Would it be far wrong to define it"a political community without a political superior"? |
12462 | Yet who can say that each was not best suited for his particular sphere of action? |
12462 | _ May_ Congress prohibit slavery in the Territories? |
12462 | _ Must_ Congress protect slavery in the Territories? |
12462 | but"Can we_ all_ do better?" |
12462 | is it rendered impossible by its vices? |
12755 | And if so, may we not dread, at some future day, a recurrence of the troubles which have so long agitated the country? |
12755 | Are the Senate to proceed without evidence? |
12755 | Are there exceptions to this proposition? |
12755 | Are you to look for it in the President, who has no control over the officer, no power to remove him if he acts unfeelingly or unfaithfully? |
12755 | But what had Congress done? |
12755 | But where is the construction to come from? |
12755 | But who shall watch the encroachment of these representatives themselves? |
12755 | Could not the President countermand any such order issued to you from the War Department? |
12755 | Could they for such a reason be wholly outlawed and deprived of their representation in the legislature? |
12755 | Cruel or unusual punishment is not to be inflicted; but who is to decide what is cruel and what is unusual? |
12755 | Does the lapse of time reveal defects? |
12755 | Have the people of the several States expressed such a conviction? |
12755 | Have they done anything to restore the Union of these States? |
12755 | Have we the power to establish and carry into execution a measure like this? |
12755 | Have we( that is, Congress) a right to extend this exception? |
12755 | How is the conflict to be settled, and who is to determine between the two tribunals when it arises? |
12755 | How is the criminal to be tried? |
12755 | How, then, can Congress confer power upon an executive officer of the United States to perform such duties in a State? |
12755 | If I have played the Judas, who has been my Christ that I have played the Judas with? |
12755 | If he is a civil officer of the State, where is the Federal power under our Constitution which authorizes his appointment by any Federal officer? |
12755 | If he is, where is the responsibility? |
12755 | If he were permitted by that successor to hold for the first two weeks, would that successor have no power to remove him? |
12755 | If the charge be incapacity, what evidence will support it? |
12755 | If the officer be accused of dishonesty, how shall it be made out? |
12755 | Is he a civil officer of the State or a civil officer of the United States? |
12755 | Is it intended that a denial of representation shall follow? |
12755 | Is the respondent, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, guilty or not guilty of a high misdemeanor, as charged in this article? |
12755 | Is this true as matter of fact? |
12755 | Must he forbear his complaint until the mischief is done and can not be prevented? |
12755 | Of what avail to ask for the privilege of bail when in military custody, which knows no such thing as bail? |
12755 | Q. I see it stated that this was received at 10.20 p.m. Was that the hour at which it was received by you? |
12755 | Referring to the dispatch of the 28th of July by General Baird, I ask you whether that dispatch on its receipt was communicated? |
12755 | Senator----, how say you? |
12755 | Shall he be continued, I ask again, against the will of the President? |
12755 | Shall he in the meantime risk the character and interest of the nation in the hands of men to whom he can not give his confidence? |
12755 | Stevens? |
12755 | Suppose a discovery of any of those events should take place when the Senate is not in session; how is the remedy to be applied? |
12755 | Suppose a person in office not possessing the talents he was judged to have at the time of the appointment; is the error not to be corrected? |
12755 | The question now resolves itself into this: Is the power of displacing an executive power? |
12755 | Was it Charles Sumner? |
12755 | Was it Wendell Phillips? |
12755 | Were those States afterwards expelled from the Union by the war? |
12755 | What is his character? |
12755 | What is the character of such a military civil officer? |
12755 | What is to be done in cases which can only be known from a long acquaintance with the conduct of an officer? |
12755 | What motive of public welfare can fail to condemn it? |
12755 | What next? |
12755 | What principle of justice requires such a policy? |
12755 | What, then, are the laws of the United States which deny the President the power to remove that officer? |
12755 | What, then, in the opinion of Congress, is necessary to make the constitution of a State"loyal and republican"? |
12755 | What, then, is that danger which can only be averted by the presence of Mr. Stanton or of Congress? |
12755 | What, then, is the ground on which this bill proceeds? |
12755 | When did they cease to be so? |
12755 | Where in any part of the globe can institutions be found so suited to their habits or so entitled to their love as their own free Constitution? |
12755 | Where in past history does a parallel exist to the public happiness which is within the reach of the people of the United States? |
12755 | Who had run greater risks or made greater sacrifices than himself? |
12755 | Why should incorporated companies have the privileges of individual preemptors? |
12755 | Will they be as jealous of the exercise of power by themselves as by others? |
12755 | Will you please advise me of the action taken, that I may instruct the receiver and the Commissioner of the General Land Office in the matter? |
12755 | Would such a trust and power be safe in such hands? |
5050 | Just satisfactionfor what? |
5050 | Abdicated? |
5050 | Ambitious aims? |
5050 | Americans are asking, why do they hate us? |
5050 | Americans are asking: How will we fight and win this war? |
5050 | Americans are asking: What is expected of us? |
5050 | Americans are asking: Who attacked our country? |
5050 | And I thought,"Really? |
5050 | And as it is to so go at all events, may we not agree that the sooner the better? |
5050 | And for each of us the question then becomes, not"Will change cause me inconvenience?" |
5050 | And how are we to get the ships if we wait for the trade to develop without them? |
5050 | And if A and B should agree, how can they know but that the General Government here will reject their plan? |
5050 | And if either extreme carry its point, what is that so far forth but dissolution of the Union? |
5050 | And if they were so disposed would it be the duty of this Government to protect them in the attempt? |
5050 | And if we do n''t do it now, when will we ever get around to it? |
5050 | And in any event, can not the North decide for itself whether to receive them? |
5050 | And is it supposed that the wandering savage has a stronger attachment to his home than the settled civilized Christian? |
5050 | And is n''t that what we do best? |
5050 | And let the final test of everything we do be a simple one: Is it good for the American people? |
5050 | And now, ladies and gentlemen of the Congress, why do n''t we get to work? |
5050 | And so, the question: If the fundamentals are in place, what now? |
5050 | And unless they did would it not be the duty of the General Government to support them in resisting such a measure? |
5050 | And what is it that it is suggested we should be prepared to do? |
5050 | And why may we not continue that ratio far beyond that period? |
5050 | And why should we expect it to be otherwise? |
5050 | And why? |
5050 | And without blinking an eye, she looked at 40 governors and she said, when my boy goes to school and they say"What does your mother do for a living?" |
5050 | And, if we can make ready what we have, have we the means at hand to distribute it? |
5050 | And, third, how do we meet these challenges together, as one America? |
5050 | Are they not already in the land? |
5050 | Are we at the end? |
5050 | As a good neighbor, shall we not extend to her a helping hand to save her? |
5050 | At what time and in what manner would a new negotiation terminate? |
5050 | Between whom was the compact? |
5050 | But admitting that these two classes of citizens are to be benefited by expansion, would it be honest to give it? |
5050 | But all these necessities have now been served, and the question is, What is best for the railroads and for the public in the future? |
5050 | But are we to presume in advance that he will thus violate his duty? |
5050 | But by what authority are these denied? |
5050 | But can Congress only act after the fact, after the mischief has been done? |
5050 | But can they proclaim themselves entirely irresponsible for this condition? |
5050 | But do they do right in ignoring the existence of violence and bloodshed in resistance to constituted authority? |
5050 | But does not the present case fairly constitute an exception? |
5050 | But how can they discharge these duties unless they be themselves protected? |
5050 | But if it had moral authority over men''s consciences, to whom did this authority attach? |
5050 | But if the gold reserve falls below$ 100,000,000, how will it be replenished except by selling more bonds? |
5050 | But if we possessed this power, would it be wise to exercise it under existing circumstances? |
5050 | But in what sense can it be asserted that the enactment in question was invested with perpetuity and entitled to the respect of a solemn Compact? |
5050 | But is it beyond the power of a State, like an individual, to yield a portion of its sovereign rights to secure the remainder? |
5050 | But it is worth while asking and answering the question, When shall we consider the war won? |
5050 | But let this trade be reopened and what will be the effect? |
5050 | But should n''t we feel more compassion for the victims of crime than for those who commit crime? |
5050 | But should such a step be now taken, when it is apparent that a hopeful change has supervened in the policy of Spain toward Cuba? |
5050 | But then would it not be better to do away with them entirely? |
5050 | But unless and until it can be proven that an unborn child is not a living human being, can we justify assuming without proof that it is n''t? |
5050 | But we should not be asking:"In what country were you born?" |
5050 | But what happened? |
5050 | But who shall tell us now what sort of navy to build? |
5050 | But why any proclamation now upon this subject? |
5050 | But why should emancipation South send the free people North? |
5050 | But why tender the benefits of this provision only to a State government set up in this particular way? |
5050 | But would it not be salutary to give also the means of preventing their commission? |
5050 | Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? |
5050 | Can anything be done to relieve situation, now acute? |
5050 | Can this be said in the face of the effect of the Northern Securities decree? |
5050 | Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? |
5050 | Can we achieve these goals? |
5050 | Can we, can they, by any other means so certainly or so speedily assure these vital objects? |
5050 | Could not all the objects of graduation be accomplished in this way, and the objections which have hitherto been urged against it avoided? |
5050 | Could the Indians establish a separate republic on each of their reservations in Ohio? |
5050 | Could the one in any way greatly disturb the seven? |
5050 | Did this mean we had to drop everything else and concentrate on armies and weapons? |
5050 | Disunion for what? |
5050 | Do they suggest any solution? |
5050 | Do we desire to make such ruthless combinations and monopolies lawful? |
5050 | Do we gain strength by withholding the remedy? |
5050 | Do we need common sense and fairness in our regulations? |
5050 | Do you believe we can become one nation? |
5050 | Do you believe we can create more jobs over the long run by cleaning the environment up? |
5050 | Do you believe we can expand the economy without hurting the environment? |
5050 | Does Humanity weep at these painful separations from every thing animate and inanimate with which the young heart has become entwined? |
5050 | Does it seem strange to you that this should be the conclusion of the argument I have just addressed to you? |
5050 | Does not this speak volumes to the patriot? |
5050 | Does the lapse of time reveal defects? |
5050 | Does the spirit which has produced such results need to be stimulated or checked? |
5050 | Doubtless it will be painful to leave the graves of their fathers; but what do they more than our ancestors did or than our children are now doing? |
5050 | Easy to do? |
5050 | Finally, what can we do to move from the present pause toward enduring peace? |
5050 | First of all, how have we gone about meeting the requirement of providing for our security against this world- wide challenge? |
5050 | First, how fares the grand alliance? |
5050 | From whence do these pressures come? |
5050 | Given their vast internal base of operations, and their agents in foreign lands, what are the communist rulers trying to do? |
5050 | Has it more waste surface by mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, or other causes? |
5050 | Have they no power to confer upon the President the authority in advance to furnish instant redress should such a case afterwards occur? |
5050 | How are we to carry our goods to the empty markets of which I have spoken if we have not the ships? |
5050 | How can we help? |
5050 | How can we not believe in the greatness of America? |
5050 | How can we not do what is right and needed to preserve this last best hope of man on Earth? |
5050 | How can we truly open the doors, and set free the full genius of our people? |
5050 | How could we do less? |
5050 | How far have we come during the last 10 years and how far can we go in the next 10? |
5050 | How have we handled our national finances? |
5050 | How many men who listen to me tonight have served their Nation in other wars? |
5050 | How many other families have never had that same opportunity? |
5050 | How many times have we seen it? |
5050 | How shall we meet this challenge? |
5050 | How shall we obtain the new revenue? |
5050 | How should we accomplish this? |
5050 | How very many are not here to listen? |
5050 | How well prepared are we to enter the 21st century? |
5050 | How will such officials be likely to serve an Administration which they know does not trust them? |
5050 | How will we mark that passage? |
5050 | How, then, can the result justify a revolution to destroy this very Constitution? |
5050 | I hear the voices of dissent- who does not? |
5050 | If asked, Are you ready to defend yourselves? |
5050 | If it be a bad one why is it suffered to exist? |
5050 | If people can get together on such projects, is it not possible that we could then go on to a full- scale cooperative program of Science for Peace? |
5050 | If that were done to what consequences might it not lead? |
5050 | If the States feel themselves competent to these objects why should this Government wish to assume the power? |
5050 | If the charge be incapacity, what evidence will support it? |
5050 | If the existing system be a good one why should it not be extended? |
5050 | If the officer be accused of dishonesty, how shall it be made out? |
5050 | If, then, for a common object this property is to be sacrificed, is it not just that it be done at a common charge? |
5050 | If, then, we are at some time to be as populous as Europe, how soon? |
5050 | In all this, if any aggression there were, any innovation upon preexisting rights, to which portion of the Union are they justly chargeable? |
5050 | In the meantime may I make this suggestion? |
5050 | In the meantime, who can foretell what would be the sufferings and privations of the people during its existence? |
5050 | Institutions for promoting it grow up supported by the public purse; and to what object can it be dedicated with greater propriety? |
5050 | Institutions for promoting it grow up, supported by the public purse; and to what object can it be dedicated with greater propriety? |
5050 | Is it contemplated to open a new negotiation respecting any of the articles or conditions of the treaty? |
5050 | Is it doubted that it would restore the national authority and national prosperity and perpetuate both indefinitely? |
5050 | Is it doubted that we here-- Congress and Executive can secure its adoption? |
5050 | Is it doubted, then, that the plan I propose, if adopted, would shorten the war, and thus lessen its expenditure of money and of blood? |
5050 | Is it indeed true that we have heretofore refrained from doing so merely from the degrading motive of a conscious weakness? |
5050 | Is it inferior to Europe in any natural advantage? |
5050 | Is it less fertile? |
5050 | Is it meant that we are not ready upon brief notice to put a nation in the field, a nation of men trained to arms? |
5050 | Is it more afflicting to him to leave the graves of his fathers than it is to our brothers and children? |
5050 | Is it not advisable to provide some measure of equitable retaliation in our relations with governments which discriminate against our own? |
5050 | Is it not by bearing them in affectionate remembrance? |

5050 | Is it objected that it is proposed to authorize the agencies to deal in bills of exchange? |
5050 | Is it paid for? |
5050 | Is it possible that such a country as this can be given up to anarchy and ruin without an effort from any quarter for its rescue and its safety? |
5050 | Is it to be conceived that such immense powers would have been left by the framers of the Constitution to mere inferences and doubtful constructions? |
5050 | Is it true, then, that colored people can displace any more white labor by being free than by remaining slaves? |
5050 | Is there any other way practicable under existing law? |
5050 | Is there anyone in this Chamber tonight who doubts that the course of freedom was not changed for the better because of the courage of that stand? |
5050 | Is there not a disposition on one side to magnify wrongs and outrages, and on the other side to belittle them or justify them? |
5050 | It is not"Can any of us imagine better?" |
5050 | It may be asked, then, Are the people of the States without redress against the tyranny and oppression of the Federal Government? |
5050 | It shall lead us as we enter the third century of the search for a more perfect union? |
5050 | Many people ask,"When will this war end?" |
5050 | May I not say a special word about the needs of Belgium and northern France? |

5050 | May he not be tempted to name his reward? |
5050 | May not all reasonable desires upon this subject be satisfied without encountering any of these objections? |
5050 | Must he forbear his complaint until the mischief is done and can not be prevented? |
5050 | Must they wait until the mischief has been done, and can they apply the remedy only when it is too late? |
5050 | My tests for our proposals will be: Will it create jobs and raise incomes? |
5050 | Need I recall either the scene or the national circumstances attending the occasion? |
5050 | Nevertheless, is it prudent or is it wise to involve ourselves in these foreign wars? |
5050 | Not, is there abundance enough for all?--but, how can all share in our abundance? |
5050 | Now go and hoe your own row?" |
5050 | Now why should Americans be concerned about this? |
5050 | Now, why? |
5050 | Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs,"Can we do better?" |
5050 | Or will it come about by negotiated and fair solutions, ensuring majority rule, minority rights, and economic advance? |
5050 | Or will it continue to expand its military power far beyond its genuine security needs, and use that power for colonial conquest? |
5050 | Or would we let it be submerged, wiped out, in post- war riots and reaction, as after World War I? |
5050 | Ought our country to remain in such cases dependent on foreign supply precarious because liable to be interrupted? |
5050 | Ought we not then to adopt every measure which may be necessary to perpetuate them? |
5050 | Our second great goal is to build on America''s pioneer spirit-- I said something funny? |

5050 | Shall it lie unproductive in the public vaults? |
5050 | Shall oppressed humanity find no asylum on this globe? |
5050 | Shall the dissimilarity of the domestic institutions in the different States prevent us from providing for them suitable governments? |

5050 | Shall we hold it as a province and govern it by despotic power? |
5050 | Shall we refuse them? |
5050 | Shall we restore the dollar to its former gold content? |
5050 | Shall we say that values are restored and that the Congress will, therefore, repeal the laws under which we have been bringing them back? |
5050 | Shall we say to the unemployed and the aged,"Social security lies not within the province of the Federal Government; you must seek relief elsewhere?" |
5050 | Shall we suppress the impost and give that advantage to foreign over domestic manufactures? |
5050 | Should other methods be adopted which will increase the revenues or diminish the expenses of the postal service? |
5050 | Should the number of post routes be diminished? |
5050 | Should the postal service be reduced by excluding from the mails matter which does not pay its way? |
5050 | Should war break out in any of those countries who can foretell the extent to which it may be carried or the desolation which it may spread? |
5050 | Should we cut the deficit more? |
5050 | Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? |
5050 | So who among us will set this example? |
5050 | Suppose such a war should result in the conquest of a State; how are we to govern it afterwards? |
5050 | Surprised you, did n''t I? |
5050 | That is your affair?" |
5050 | That was encouraging, you know? |
5050 | The magic of opportunity-- unreserved, unfailing, unrestrained-- isn''t this the calling that unites us? |
5050 | The only test of a plan is, It is sound and will it work? |
5050 | The profound question is: Does this mean we will be 50 percent richer in a real sense, 50 percent better off, 50 percent happier? |

5050 | Third, what comfort can we take from the increasing strains and tensions within the Communist bloc? |
5050 | To defend ourselves against attack? |
5050 | To what sources, then, shall we turn? |
5050 | To what then do we owe these blessings? |
5050 | Today, having come far in our own historical journey, we must decide: Will we turn back, or finish well? |
5050 | Tonight, my fellow Americans, we are summoned to answer a question as old as the republic itself, what is the state of our union? |
5050 | V. Second, what of the developing and non- aligned nations? |
5050 | We ask now, not how can we achieve abundance?--but how shall we use our abundance? |
5050 | We have the resources, but are we fully ready to use them? |
5050 | Well, if this is true, why is the Constitution of the United States so exceptional? |
5050 | Well, let us rather ask them: Who will they sacrifice? |
5050 | Were those States afterwards expelled from the Union by the war? |
5050 | Were we prepared, in peacetime, to keep on moving toward full realization of the democratic promise? |
5050 | What are these tasks? |
5050 | What are we to do about it? |
5050 | What brought America back? |

5050 | Who would wish to see Florida still a European colony? |
5050 | Why are we there? |
5050 | Why ca n''t we? |
5050 | Why did men come to that once forbidding land? |
5050 | Why do we want guaranteed private insurance? |
5050 | Why is it that we can build a nation with our prayers, but we ca n''t use a schoolroom for voluntary prayer? |
5050 | Why may not our country at some time average as many? |
5050 | Why not try it? |
5050 | Why should it be on this? |
5050 | Why should we ignore it now? |
5050 | Why, then, this restlessness? |
5050 | Why? |
5050 | Why? |
5050 | Will a strong and united America still be a force for freedom and prosperity around the world? |
5050 | Will change come about by warfare and chaos and foreign intervention? |
5050 | Will it build the middle class and shrink the underclass? |

5050 | Will not the good people respond to a united and earnest appeal from us? |
5050 | Will our children enjoy a better quality of life? |
