"The people are responsible for the character of their Congress."

"We may divide the whole struggle of the human race into two chapter: first, the fight to get leisure; and then the second fight of civilization - what shall we do with our leisure when we get it."

"I love agitation and investigation and glory in defending unpopular truth against popular error."

"Assassination can be not more guarded against than deathy by lightning; and it is best not to worry about either."

"I am an advocate of paper money, but that paper must represent what it professes on its face. I do not wish to hold in my hands the printed lies of the government."
