America's Need
"America's present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy;
not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but
serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise;
not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality....

Americanism
I don't know much about Americanism, but it's a damn good word with which to
carry an election.

Friends
I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies in a fight.
But my friends, my goddamned friends, they're the ones who keep me walking
the floor at nights!

Government

time do for it too little."
Warren G. Harding

"In the great fulfillment we must have a citizenship less concerned about what the
government can do for it and more anxious about what it can do for the nation."

"The success of our popular government rests wholly upon the correct interpretation
of the deliberate, intelligent, dependable popular will of America."

Profits in War Time
"There is something inherently wrong, something out of accord with the ideals of
representative democracy, when one portion of our citizenship turns its activities
to private gain amid defensive war while another is fighting, sacrificing, or dying
for national preservation."
Warren G. Harding

Solitay Men
Only solitay men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family;
but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything.

Taxation
I don't know what to do or where to turn in this taxation matter. Somewhere there
must be a book that tells all about it, where I could go to straighten it out in my
mind. But I don't know where the book is, and maybe I couldn't read it if I found it.
