At present, the most valuable gift which can be bestowed upon women is something to do which they can do well and worthily, and thereby maintain themselves.

When the Divine Artist would ...

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

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.

James Garfield 144 quotes

I am receiving what I suppose...

I am receiving what I suppose to be the usual number of threatening letters on the subject. Assassination can be no more guarded against than death by lightning; it is best not to worry about either.

James Garfield 144 quotes

The world's history is a divi...

The world's history is a divine poem, of which the history of every nation is a canto, and every man a word. Its strains have been pealing along down the centuries, and though there have been mingled the discords of warring cannon and dying men, yet to the Christian philosopher and historian - the humble listener - there has been a Divine melody running through the song which speaks of hope and halcyon days to come.

In the long, fierce struggle ...

In the long, fierce struggle for freedom of opinion, the press, like the Church, counted its martyrs by thousands.

James Garfield 144 quotes

In the minds of most men, the...

In the minds of most men, the kingdom of opinion is divided into three territories,--the territory of yes, the territory of no, and a broad, unexplored middle ground of doubt.

I never meet a ragged boy in the street without feeling that i may owe him a salute, for I know not what possibilities may be buttoned up under his coat.

James Garfield 144 quotes

We hold reunions, not for the...

We hold reunions, not for the dead, for there is nothing in all the earth that you and I can do for the dead. They are past our help and past our praise. We can add to them no glory, we can give to them no immortality. They do not need us, but forever and forever more we need them.

James Garfield 144 quotes

It is not part of the functio...

It is not part of the functions of the national government to find employment for people - and if we were to appropriate a hundred millions for this purpose, we should be taxing forty millions of people to keep a few thousand employed.

James Garfield 144 quotes

I have seen the sea lashed in...

I have seen the sea lashed into fury and tossed into spray, and its grandeur moves the soul of the dullest man; but I remember that it is not the billows, but the calm level of the sea from which all heights and depths are measured.

James Garfield 144 quotes

Nobody but radicals have ever...

Nobody but radicals have ever accomplished anything in a great crisis. Conservatives have their place in the piping times of peace; but in emergencies only rugged issue men amount to much.

James Garfield 144 quotes

The return to solid values is...

The return to solid values is always hard... Distress, panic, and hard times have marked our pathway in returning to solid values.

James Garfield 144 quotes

The chief instrument of Ameri...

The chief instrument of American statistics is the census, which should accomplish a two-fold object. It should serve the country by making a full and accurate exhibit of the elements of national life and strength, and it should serve the science of statistics by so exhibiting general results that they may be compared with similar data obtained by other nations.

James Garfield 144 quotes

The possession of great power...

The possession of great powers no doubt carries with it a comtempt for mere external show

James Garfield 144 quotes

Real political issues cannot ...

Real political issues cannot be manufactured by the leaders of political parties, and real ones cannot be evaded by political parties. The real political issues of the day declare themselves, and come out of the depths of that deep which we call public opinion.

James Garfield 144 quotes

History is constantly repeati...

History is constantly repeating itself, making only such changes of programme as the growth of nations and centuries requires.

James Garfield 144 quotes

Individuals may wear for a ti...

Individuals may wear for a time the glory of our institutions, but they carry it not to the grave with them. Like raindrops from heaven, they may pass through the circle of the shining bow and add to its luster; but when they have sunk in the earth again, the proud arch still spans the sky and shines gloriously on.

James Garfield 144 quotes

Now more than ever the people...

Now more than ever the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature. . . . If the next centennial does not find us a great nation . . . it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.

The chief duty of government is to keep the peace and stand out of the sunshine of the people.
