‘I don’t go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of ten are, and I shouldn’t like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth.’

‘Criminals should be sterilized and feeble-minded persons forbidden to leave offspring behind them.’

Nice guy.

‘I believe in power … The biggest [presidential] matters I managed without consultation with anyone, for when a matter is of capital importance, it is well to have it handled by one man only … I don’t think that any harm comes from the concentration of power in one man’s hands.

Hell of a president.

Wonder what impact his opinions on empire building, Asia and Russia etc. were for causing WW2 with Japan?
