James A. Garfield - Suicide is not a remedy

• Poverty is uncomfortable; but nine times out of ten the best thing that can happen to a young man is to be tossed overboard and compelled to sink or swim.
• Right reason is stronger than force.
• Suicide is not a remedy.
• Territory is but the body of a nation. The people who inhabit its hills and valleys are its soul, its spirit, its life.
• The chief duty of government is to keep the peace and stand out of the sunshine of the people.
• The civil service can never be placed on a satisfactory basis until it is regulated by law.
