"Man has affinity for his fellowman, regardless of race, creed, or politics, and the greater the variety, the more the zest. All friendliness needs is a sporting chance; it will take care of itself in any company" — A Road I Have Travelled, THE ROTARIAN, February 1934

"The best antidote for international fear is international understanding; the best way to cultivate international understanding is through business and social intercourse." — Message to 1928 Pacific Rotary Conference, Tokyo, Japan
