Whenever I Indulge My Sense

Patriotism Is Easy To Understand In America. It Means Looking Out For Yourself By Looking Out For Your Country.

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.

We Live An Age Of Science And Of Abounding Accumulation Of Material Things. These Did Not Create The Declaration. Our Declaration Created Them. ... If We Are To Maintain The Great Heritage Which Has Been Bequeathed To Us, We Must Be Like-minded As The Fathers Who Created It.

Everyone Has An Influence On Public Affairs If He Will Take The Trouble To Exert It.

If The Government Gets Into Business On Any Large Scale, We Soon Find That The Beneficiaries Attempt To Play A Large Part In The Control. While In Theory It Is To Serve The Public, In Practice It Will Be Very Largely Serving Private Interests. It Comes To Be Regarded As A Species Of Government Favor And Those Who Are The Most Adroit Get The Larger Part Of It.
