“Patriotism is easy to understand in America; it means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.”

“This country would not be a land of opportunity, America could not be America, if the people were shackled with government monopolies.”

“The only way I know to drive out evil from the country is by the constructive method of filling it with good.”

“The business of America is business. ”

“The people cannot look to legislation generally for success. Industry, thrift, character, are not conferred by act or resolve. Government cannot relieve from toil. It can provide no substitute for the rewards of service. It can, of course, care for the defective and recognize distinguished merit. The normal must care for themselves. Self-government means self-support.”

“I want the people of America to be able to work less for the government and more for themselves. I want them to have the rewards of their own industry. This is the chief meaning of freedom.Until we can reestablish a condition under which the earnings of the people can be kept by the people, we are bound to suffer a very severe and distinct curtailment of our liberty.”

“There is no dignityquite so impressive,and no independencequite so important,as living within your means.”
