Honesty is the best policy, says the familiar axiom; but people who are honest on that principle defraud no one but themselves.

James Garfield 144 quotes

You and I are now nearly in m...

You and I are now nearly in middle age, and have not yet become soured and shrivelled with the wear and tear of life. Let us pray to be delivered from that condition where life and nature have no fresh, sweet sensations for us.

James Garfield 144 quotes

Power exhibits itself under t...

Power exhibits itself under two distinct forms,--strength and force,--each possessing peculiar qualities, and each perfect in its own sphere. Strength is typified by the oak, the rock, the mountain. Force embodies itself in the cataract, the tempest, and the thunder-bolt.

Commerce links all mankind in one common brotherhood of mutual dependence and interests.

James Garfield 144 quotes

Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry and commerce...when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.

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

James Garfield 144 quotes

No man can make a speech alon...

No man can make a speech alone. It is the great human power that strikes up from a thousand minds that acts upon him, and makes the speech.

The prosperity which now prev...

The prosperity which now prevails is without parallel in our history. Fruitful seasons have done much to secure it, but they have not done all. The preservation of the public credit and the resumption of specie payments, so successfully attained by the Administration of my predecessors, have enabled our people to secure the blessings which the seasons brought.

When the Divine Artist would produce a poem, He plants a germ of it in a human soul, and out of that soul the poem springs and grows as from the rose-tree the rose.

James Garfield 144 quotes

A nation is not worthy to be ...

A nation is not worthy to be saved if, in the hour of its fate, it will not gather up all its jewels of manhood and life, and go down into the conflict however bloody and doubtful, resolved on measureless ruin or complete success.

James Garfield 144 quotes

Monuments may be builded to express the affection or pride of friends, or to display their wealth, but they are only valuable for the characters which they perpetuate.

True art is but the anti-type of nature; the embodiment of discovered beauty in utility.

James Garfield 144 quotes

Mankind have been slow to believe that order reigns in the universe-that the world is a cosmos and a chaos.

James Garfield 144 quotes

I admitted, that the world ha...

I admitted, that the world had existed millions of years. I am astonished at the ignorance of the masses on these subjects. Hugh Miller has it right when he says that 'the battle of evidences must now be fought on the field of the natural sciences.'

The separation of Church and ...

The separation of Church and State in everything relating to taxation should be absolute.

James Garfield 144 quotes

The divorce between Church an...

The divorce between Church and State ought to be absolute. It ought to be so absolute that no Church property anywhere, in any state or in the nation, should be exempt from equal taxation; for if you exempt the property of any church organization, to that extent you impose a tax upon the whole community.

When the shadow of the Presidential and Congressional election is lifted we shall, I hope to be in a better temper to legislate.

Swift defined observation to be an old man's memory.

Statistics has been the handmaid of science, and has poured a flood of light upon the dark questions of famine and pestilence, ignorance and crime, disease and death.
