Notable quotes

“Who gossips to you will gossip about you”.

“The men who create power make an indespensable contribution to the nation’s greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indespensable, especially when that questioning in disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.”

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”
