“...any form of government that required the repression, imprisonment, and execution of those who disagreed with it was certainly not a government of the people.”
“Countries are rarely governed by the ethical and good people.”
“This country would not be a land of opportunity, America could not be America, if the people were shackled with government monopolies.”
“In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.”
“It is still possible to find people who believe that government policy did not end the Great Depression and undergird the Great Prosperity, just as it is possible to uncover people who do not believe in evolution.”
