When I wish to sound out a man, I ask him if he has ever been hungry.

If I find he has never missed a meal in his life, I know his education has been neglected.

For I believe that experience is the foremost teacher.

I have learned something from every experience I ever had, and I hold that Providence has been kind to me in favoring me with a lot of rather tough adventures.
Our hardships on entering America taught me sympathy and filled me with a desire to help others.

I have heard aliens say that America had not treated them with hospitality, and that this had made them bitter, and now these aliens would take revenge by tearing down America.
