James A. Garfield - There can be no permanent

• There can be no permanent disfranchised peasantry in the United States.
• Things don't turn up in this world until somebody turns them up.
• Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.
• I love to deal with doctrines and events. The contests of men about men I greatly dislike.
• I mean to make myself a man, and if I succeed in that, I shall succeed in everything else.
• Ideas are the great warriors of the world, and a war that has no idea behind it, is simply a brutality.
