“ The less government interferes with private pursuits, the better for general prosperity. ”
I tread in the footsteps of illustrious men... in receiving from the people the sacred trust confided to my illustrious predecessor.
~ Martin Van Buren
The government should not be guided by Temporary Excitement, but by Sober Second Thought.
In a government whose distinguishing characteristic should be a diffusion and equalization of its benefits and burdens the advantage of individuals will be augmented at the expense of the community at large.
