We Do Not Need More Knowledge, We

I Want Taxes To Be Less, That The People May Have More.

Our Government Rests Upon Religion. It Is From That Source That We Derive Our Reverance For Truth And Justice, For Equality And Liberty, And For The Rights Of Mankind. Unless The People Believe In These Principles They Cannot Believe In Our Government.

We Do Not Need More Material Development, We Need More Spiritual Development. We Do Not Need More Intellectual Power, We Need More Moral Power. We Do Not Need More Knowledge, We Need More Character. We Do Not Need More Government, We Need More Culture. We Do Not Need More Law, We Need More Religion. We Do Not Need More Of The Things That Are Seen, We Need More Of The Things That Are Unseen. It Is On That Side Of Life That It Is Desirable To Put The Emphasis At The Present Time. If That Side Be Strengthened, The Other Side Will Take Care Of Itself.

If All Men Are Created Equal, That Is Final. If They Are Endowed With Inalienable Rights, That Is Final. If Governments Derive Their Just Powers From The Consent Of The Governed, That Is Final. No Advance, No Progress Can Be Made Beyond These Propositions.

We Insist On Producing A Farm Surplus, But Think The Government Should Find A Profitable Market For It. We Overindulge In Speculation, But Ask The Government To Prevent Panics. Now The Only Way To Hold The Government Entirely Responsible For Conditions Is To Give Up Our Liberty For A Dictatorship. If We Continue The More Reasonable Practice Of Managing Our Own Affairs We Must Bear The Burdens Of Our Own Mistakes. A Free People Cannot Shift Their Responsibility For Them To The Government. Self-government Means Self-reliance.
