Citizenship is what makes a republic; monarchies
can get along without it. - Speech 3/4/1906 Cizitenship should be placed above everything else, even learning. Is there in any college of the land a chair of citizenship where good citizenship and all that it implies is taught? There is not one--that is, not one where sane citizenship is taught. There are some which teach insane citizenship, bastard citizenship, but that is all. Patriotism! Yes; but patriotism is usually the refuge of the scoundrel. He is the man who talks the loudest. - Speech, 5/14/1908 ....every citizen of the republic ought to consider himself an unofficial policeman, and keep unsalaried watch and ward over the laws and their execution. - "Traveling With a Reformer" Good citizenship would teach accuracy of thinking and accuracy of statement. |
