Whenever anything extraordinary is done in American municipal politics, whether for good or for evil, you can trace it almost invariably to one man. The people do not do it. Neither do the 'gangs,' 'combines,' or political parties.

I have seen the future, and it works.

My father required me to honor my father and my mother too much to put up games on them. I did on occasion.

I am really puzzled to understand myself.

I let my boy go and do and say pretty much as he likes, as, and perhaps because, my father kept no string on me.

The politer the society, the greater the lies it requires.
