While I do not think it was so intended I have always been of the opinion that this turned out to be much the best for me. I had no national experience. What I have ever been able to do has been the result of first learning how to do it. I am not gifted with intuition. I need not only hard work but experience to be ready to solve problems. The Presidents who have gone to Washington without first having held some national office have been at great disadvantage.

The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge, it is always simple and direct.

I did not see the sense in chasing a little white ball around a field.

I always enjoy animal acts.

I want taxes to be less, that the people may have more.

Of course, the accumulation of wealth cannot be justified as the chief end of existence.

Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
