We Insist On Producing A Farm Surplus, But Think The Government Should Find A Profitable Market For It. We Overindulge In Speculation, But Ask The Government To Prevent Panics. Now The Only Way To Hold The Government Entirely Responsible For Conditions Is To Give Up Our Liberty For A Dictatorship.

Politics Is Not An End, But A Means. It Is Not A Product, But A Process. It Is The Art Of Government. Like Other Values It Has Its Counterfeits. So Much Emphasis Has Been Placed Upon The False That The Significance Of The True Has Been Obscured And Politics Has Come To Convey The Meaning Of Crafty And Cunning Selfishness, Instead Of Candid And Sincere Service.

No One Ever Lost His Job By Listening Too Much.
