Once A Nation Parts With The Control

I Believed The People Had A True Instinct In Most Matters Of Government When Left Alone. That They Were Not Swayed, As Specially Favoured Individuals Were, By Personal Interest, But Rather By A Sense Of What Best Served The Common Good. That They Recognized The Truth When It Was Put Before Them, And That A Leader Can Guide So Long As He Kept To The Right Lines. I Did Not Think It Was A Mark Of Leadership To Try To Make The People Do What One Wanted Them To Do.

It Is What We Prevent, Rather Than What We Do That Counts Most In Government.

Once A Nation Parts With The Control Of Its Credit, It Matters Not Who Makes The Laws.

Each Year, Therefore, A Dollar Spent On Alcoholic Beverages Has Purchased A Smaller Quantity.

Far More Has Been Accomplished For The Welfare And Progress Of Mankind By Preventing Bad Actions Than By Doing Good Ones.
