The Business Of America Is Business.

I Do Not Choose To Run For President In 1928.

In The Discharge Of The Duties Of This Office, There Is One Rule Of Action More Important Than All Others. It Consists In Never Doing Anything That Someone Else Can Do For You.

Nothing Is Easier Than Spending Public Money. It Does Not Appear To Belong To Anybody. The Temptation Is Overwhelming To Bestow It On Somebody.

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.

Politics Is Not An End, But A Means. It Is Not A Product, But A Process. It Is The Art Of Government. Like Other Values It Has Its Counterfeits. So Much Emphasis Has Been Placed Upon The False That The Significance Of The True Has Been Obscured And Politics Has Come To Convey The Meaning Of Crafty And Cunning Selfishness, Instead Of Candid And Sincere Service.
