If the whole activity of the leaders serves as the expression of the people's will, as some historians suppose, then all the details of the court scandals contained in the biographies of a Napoleon or a Catherine serve to express the life of the nation, which is evident nonsense; but if it is only some particular side of the activity of an historical leader which serves to express the people's life, as other so-called "philosophical" historians believe, then to determine which side of the activity of a leader expresses the nation's life, we have first of all to know in what the nation's life consists.
The nation's public works activities are tremendous in scope. It is expected that more than $ 12 billion will be expended in 1955 for the development of land, water and other resources; control of floods, and navigation and harbor improvements; construction of roads, schools, and municipal water supplies, and disposal of domestic and industrial wastes.
Through the mother's devoted faith and the son's obedient power, the foundations were laid of a government whose sole reliance must still be on woman's inspiration and man's willing strength. These are evidently God's instruments for our Nation's upbuilding. The extinction of human bondage, more perhaps than any other one event, has emphasized the progress of the century about to close.
But peace had now been of long continuance; and though a nation's banner floated from the tower of the fort, and was seen afar by mariners, though the cannon occupied their ancient places, ordered for instant use, though all within the fort was managed and conducted day by day with careful regard to orders, the operations indicated, in the spirit of their conduct, no fear of warlike surprises.
Those programs provide a foundation for the economic development of our Nation in the 1980's. The partnership among Federal, State and local governments to revitalize our Nation's communities has been a high priority of my Administration. Both of these programs have provided essential community and economic development assistance to our Nation's cities and counties.
He did things before the eyes of the Senate and the nation. His balm for the healing of the nation's wounds was a patent medicine so cleverly concocted that experts alone could show what was in it. So abstruse and twisted were some of Mr. Douglas's doctrines that a genius alone might put them into simple words, for the common people. The great panacea for the slavery trouble put forth by Mr.
He had practically no advisers in these critical moments, but the moral courage with which he refused the Austrian offers of lenient terms if he would repudiate the Statute and his father's word, won for him the nation's trust, which he never lost. Cavour, with all his genius, could not have made the kingdom of Italy if the Italians had doubted their king.
The Government heard of these avowals, and the time spent in captious discussions about moral nonentities and legal quibbles, when the stake was a nation's death or life, was diligently employed by the Government in accumulating means of defence. The motives of the principal promoters of the league are by no means questioned here.
Progressively representative legislation in order to suppress an evergrowing agitation seeking to give expression to a nation's agony. Degrading treatment of Indians residing in your dominions, and You have shown total disregard of our feelings by glorifying the Punjab administration and flouting the Mosulman sentiment.
They go to the heart of what we Americans are all about all of us, Democrats and Republicans. Tonight I have spoken of some of the goals I should like to see America reach. Many of them can be achieved this year others by the time we celebrate our Nation's 200th birthday the bicentennial of our independence. Several of these goals are going to be very hard to reach.
