More quotes by James A. Garfield
Wherever a ship ploughs the sea, or a plough furrows the field wherever a mine yields its treasure wherever a ship or a railroad train carries freight to market wherever the smoke of the furnace rises, or the clang of the loom resounds even in the lonely garret where the seamstress plies her busy needle--there is industry.

James A. Garfield
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 A. Garfield
