"I am in favor of a national..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“Everybody likes a compliment.”

“If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution.”

“I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.”

“Universally, the better gold the worse man. The political economist defies us to show any gold mine country that is traversed by good roads, or a shore where pearls are found on which good schools are erected.”

“That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise.”

“Here's the major problem with going on strike for more money: You cannot get rich by demand!”

“Government is not the solution, but rather the cause of our problems.”

“From my experience let me say this: in today's world it is no bad thing for a politician to have had the benefit of a scientific background. And not only politicians. Those who work in industry, in commerce, in investment. Indeed, so important has it become that I believe we are right to make science a compulsory subject for all schoolchildren.”

“Honesty is always the best policy.”
