I Have Never Been Hurt By What

I Shouldn't Want You To Be Surprised, Or To Draw Any Particular Inference From My Making Speeches, Or Not Making Speeches, Out There. I Don't Recall Any Candidate For President That Ever Injured Himself Very Much By Not Talking.

The Welfare Of The Weakest And The Welfare Of The Most Powerful Are Inseparably Bound Together. ... The General Welfare Cannot Be Provided For In Any One Act, But It Is Well To Remember That The Benefit Of One Is The Benefit Of All, And The Neglect Of One Is The Neglect Of All.

Unless The People, Through Unified Action, Arise And Take Charge Of Their Government, They Will Find That Their Government Has Taken Charge Of Them. Independence And Liberty Will Be Gone, And The General Public Will Find Itself In A Condition Of Servitude To An Aggregation Of Organized And Selfish Interest.

If The Government Gets Into Business On Any Large Scale, We Soon Find That The Beneficiaries Attempt To Play A Large Part In The Control. While In Theory It Is To Serve The Public, In Practice It Will Be Very Largely Serving Private Interests. It Comes To Be Regarded As A Species Of Government Favor And Those Who Are The Most Adroit Get The Larger Part Of It.

Money Will Not Purchase Character Or Good Government.
