SIXTEENTH QUOTE:

Matthew Rozsa
Once again, for fifty points:
"I decline to accept the end of man... He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance."

SEVENTEENTH QUOTE:

Matthew Rozsa
For my second-to-last quote, I shall dip into my Pennsylvania heritage. Thirty-nine points goes to the person who identifies the individual who remarked that my home state is "Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, with Alabama in between."

EIGHTEENTH QUOTE:

Matthew Rozsa
For forty points, identify the man who famously declared that Nazi soldiers "were victims, just as surely as the victims in the concentration camps". By the way, I do need to end this and get on with my life. This is the last of three final quotes.

Kirk Harlan
I was going to say Churchill, but it seems too obvious and fairly out of character.

Jon Gorga
Wait. What? Then Woodrow Wilson? Roosevelt died before the end of the war. I always get Wilson and Truman confused because they both followed Roosevelts!

Ronald Reagan visited Bitburg Cemetery on May 5, 1985, and delivered an infamous address (composed by speechwriter Pat Buchanan) in which he declared that those grounds, in which hundreds of Nazis (including SS men) were buried, deserved respect, for the reason in the above-mentioned quote.

Jon Gorga
Well a thank you to Matt for further awesome factoids about the American presidency. Very cool.

Matthew Rozsa
Addenda:

1) Christina gets the points. Period.
2) William Taft succeeded the first Roosevelt, not Wilson.
3) Woodrow Wilson died in 1924, so needless to say, it would have been a little eerie had he discussed Nazis and concentration camps.

NINETEENTH QUOTE:

Matthew Rozsa
My second-to-last quote (for real this time)...
For forty-seven points:
"Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."

Christina Cruz
If he did I didnt know, but I had to give this speech at an oratorical contest in elementary school, plus it's one of many of Lincoln's little gems.

"Jesus H. Tap-dancing Christ... I have seen the light!"
