|  Many a time I have wanted to stop talking and find out what I really believed. | | No amount of charters, direct primaries, or short ballots will make a democracy out of an illiterate people. | | In government offices which are sensitive to the vehemence and passion of mass sentiment public men have no sure tenure. They are in effect perpetual office seekers, always on trial for their political lives, always required to court their restless constituents. | | It is perfectly true that that government is best which governs least. It is equally true that that government is best which provides most. | | He has honor if he holds himself to an ideal of conduct though it is inconvenient, unprofitable, or dangerous to do so. |
