"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money."

"America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
"The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colours breaking through."
