“Those who oppose all reform will do well to remember that ruin in its worst form is inevitable if our national life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of a sordid and selfish materialism.”

“You need not rest your reputation on the dinners you give.”

“There is goodness as well as greatness in simplicity, not in wealth.”
