Benjamin Harrison Quotes

«We Americans have no commission from God to police the world.»
«No other people have a government more worthy of their respect and love or a land so magnificent in extent, so pleasant to look upon, and so full of generous suggestion to enterprise and labor.»
«I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process.»
«Will it not be wise to allow the friendship between nations to rest upon deep and permanent things? Irritations of the cuticle must not be confounded with heart failure.»
«Great lives never go out; they go on.»
«I knew that my staying up would not change the [election] result if I were defeated, while if elected I had a hard day ahead of me. So I thought a night's rest was best in any event.»
«The bud of victory is always in the truth.»
«I like the woodwork on the stairway, the way those men made everything so intricate.»
«I don't think people ought to take the elevator if they (can) walk, because they don't get to see the stairway,»
«The indiscriminate denunciation of the rich is mischievous.... No poor man was ever made richer or happier by it. It is quite as illogical to despise a man because he is rich as because he is poor. Not what a man has, but what he is, settles his class. We can not right matters by taking from one what he has honestly acquired to bestow upon another what he has not earned.»
