A belief in God is fundamental; upon it rest the influences that control life.

If we have to give up either religion or education, we should give up education.

That is the one thing in my public career that I regret--my work to secure the enactment of the Federal Reserve Law.

The money problem facing the country from 1789 to 1896 existed because Congress never exercised is authority to "coin money or regulate the value thereof" - but rather delegated that authority, sometimes by charter and sometimes by default, to the banking system. This despite the provision in the Constitution that charged Congress with the power to 'coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standards of weight and Measures.'

We can exterminate Ku Kluxism better by recognizing their honesty and teaching them that they are wrong.

When I find a man who is not willing to pay his share of the burden of the government which protects him, I find a man who is unworthy to enjoy the blessings of a government like ours.

None so little enjoy themselves, and are such burdens to themselves, as those who have nothing to do. Only the active have the true relish of life.
