"The object of government is the welfare..." - Quote by Theodore Roosevelt

“The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom.”

“The reader, the booklover, must meet his own needs without paying too much attention to what his neighbors say those needs should be.”

“Just as Lincoln got contradictory advice from the extremists of both sides . . . so now I have to guard myself against the extremists of both sides.”

“Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man.”

“Never was a government that was not composed of liars, malefactors and thieves.”

“That government is best which governs least.”

“The man who holds that every human right is secondary to his profit must now give way to the advocate of human welfare.”

“It is incumbent upon every person of every description to contribute to his country's welfare.”

“Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.”
