We are paying eight millions a year for the privilege of living on an ungrateful volcano out of which we are in no circumstances to get anything worth having.

Criticism in the body politic is like pain in the human body. It is not pleasant, but where would the body be without it?

I see a government completely out of control, and money is number one. Integrity isn't even on the map.

It may be long before the law of love will be recognized in international affairs. The machinery's of government stand between and hide the hearts of one people from those of another.

The world today is ruled by harassed politicians absorbed in getting into office or turning out the other man so that not much room is left for debating the great issues on their merits.

I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents.
