I Have Never Been Hurt By What

To Live Under The American Constitution Is The Greatest Political Privilege That Was Ever Accorded To The Human Race.

You Can Display No Greater Wisdom Than By Resisting Proposals For Needless Legislation. It Is Much More Important To Kill Bad Bills Than To Pass Good Ones.

As I Went About With My Father, When He Collected Taxes, I Knew That When Taxes Were Laid Someone Had To Work Hard To Earn The Money To Pay Them.

Nations Are Beginning To Look To Some Vague Organization, Some Nebulous Course Of Humanity, To Pay Their Bills And Tell Them What To Do. This Is Not Local Self-government. It Is Not American. It Is Not The Method Which Has Made This Country What It Is. We Can Not Maintain The Western Standard Of Civilization On That Theory. If It Is Supported At All, It Will Have To Be Supported On The Principle Of Individual Responsibility.

While Legislation Can Stimulate And Encourage, The Real Creative Ability Which Builds Up And Develops The Country, And In General Makes Human Existence More Tolerable And Life More Complete, Has To Be Supplied By The Genius Of The People Themselves. The Government Can Supply No Substitute For Enterprise.
