“Our loyalty is due entirely to the United States. It is due to the President only and exactly to the degree in which he efficiently serves the United States. It is our duty to support him when he serves the United States well. It is our duty to oppose him when he serves it badly. This is true about Mr. Wilson now and it has been true about all our Presidents in the past. It is our duty at all times to tell the truth about the President and about every one else, save in the cases where to tell the truth at the moment would benefit the public enemy.” WellsHas BeensStatesMomentsPastPresidentUnitedEnemyCasesUnited StatesSupportDutyDegreesBenefitsDuesLoyaltyAll TimeTelling The TruthWilsonPublic Enemies Book:Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia Source: Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia

All is then lost, for we have not only to fight against that enemy, but our imagination as well.” WellsFightingEnergyLostImaginationEnemyGreaterDangerDareVisiblePanicPerilPresentingAvert Author:Christian Nestell Bovee
“The mortal enemies of man are not his fellows of another continent or race; they are the aspects of the physical world which limit or challenge his control, the disease germs that attack him and his domesticated plants and animals, and the insects that carry many of these germs as well as working notable direct injury.
