After Order And Liberty, Economy Is One

The Two Great Political Parties Of The Nation Have Existed For The Purpose, Each In Accordance With Its Own Principles, Of Undertaking To Serve The Interests Of The Whole Nation. Their Members Of The Congress Are Chosen With That Great End In View.

The Appropriation Of Public Money Always Is Perfectly Lovely Until Some One Is Asked To Pay The Bill. If We Are To Have A Billion Dollars Of Navy, Half A Billion Of Farm Relief, Etc... The People Will Have To Furnish More Revenue By Paying More Taxes. It Is For Them, Through Their Congress, To Decide How Far They Wish To Go.

If I Had Permitted My Failures, Or What Seemed To Me At The Time A Lack Of Success, To Discourage Me I Cannot See Any Way In Which I Would Ever Have Made Progress.

Wealth Comes From Industry And From The Hard Experience Of Human Toil. To Dissipate It In Waste And Extravagance Is Disloyalty To Humanity.

The People Cannot Look To Legislation Generally For Success. Industry, Thrift, Character, Are Not Conferred By Act Or Resolve. Government Cannot Relieve From Toil. It Can Provide No Substitute For The Rewards Of Service. It Can, Of Course, Care For The Defective And Recognize Distinguished Merit. The Normal Must Care For Themselves. Self-government Means Self-support.
