    Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    At Flores in the Azores Sir Richard Grenville lay,
    And a pinnace, like a fluttered bird, came flying from far away:
    ‘Spanish ships of war at sea! we have sighted fifty-three!’
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.
