Character Is The Only Secure Foundation Of

Despotism Has Forever Had A Powerful Hold Upon The World. Autocratic Government, Not Self-government, Has Been The Prevailing State Of Mankind. The Record Of Past History Is The Record, Not Of The Success Of Republics, But Of Their Failure.

Don't Hesitate To Be As Revolutionary As Science. Don't Hesitate To Be As Reactionary As The Multiplication Table.

Do The Day's Work. If It Be To Protect The Rights Of The Weak, Whoever Objects, Do It. If It Be To Help A Powerful Corporation Better To Serve The People, Whatever The Opposition, Do That. Expect To Be Called A Stand-patter, But Don't Be A Stand-patter. Expect To Be Called A Demagogue, But Don't Be A Demagogue. Don't Hesitate To Be As Revolutionary As Science. Don't Hesitate To Be As Reactionary As The Multiplication Table. Don't Expect To Build Up The Weak By Pulling Down The Strong. Don't Hurry To Legislate. Give Administration A Chance To Catch Up With Legislation.

Liberty Is Not Collective, It Is Personal. All Liberty Is Individual Liberty.
