The cure for bad politics is the same as the cure for tuberculosis. It is living in the open.

Here lies, in a "horizontal" position The "outside" case of Peter Pendulum, watch-maker. He departed this life "wound up" In hopes of being "taken in hand" by his Maker, And of being thoroughly "cleaned, repaired" and "set a-going" In the world to come.

Things get very lonely in Washington sometimes. The real voice of the great people of America sometimes sounds faint and distant in that strange city. You hear politics until you wish that both parties were smothered in their own gas.

In the last analysis, my fellow country men, as we in America would be the first to claim, a people are responsible for the acts of their government.

Today's greatest labor-saving device is tomorrow.

Property as compared with humanity, as compared with the red blood in the American people, must take second place, not first place.

There is no more subtle dissolvent of morals than sentimentality.
