The family is the nucleus of civilization.

In my youth I stressed freedom, and in my old age I stress order. I have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order.

We are living in the excesses of freedom. Just take a look at 42nd Street and Broadway.

Civilization is the order and freedom is promoting cultural activity.

To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. Nothing is often a good thing to say, and always a clever thing to say.

Every form of government tends to perish by excess of its basic principle.

One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.

History is mostly guessing the rest is prejudice.

Bankers know that history is inflationary and that money is the last thing a wise man will hoard.

The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.
