Whatever I may believe in theology, I do not believe in the doctrine of vicarious atonement in politics.
James A. Garfield
Coercion is the basis of every law in the universe,--human or divine. A law is not law without coercion behind it.
James A. Garfield
Battles are never the end of war for the dead must be buried and the cost of the conflict must be paid.
James A. Garfield
The separation of Church and State in everything relating to taxation should be absolute.
James A. Garfield
Liberty is no negation. It is a substantive, tangible reality.
James A. Garfield
If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.
James A. Garfield
The best system of education is that which draws its chief support from the voluntary effort of the community, from the individual efforts of citizens, and from those burdens of taxation which they voluntarily impose upon themselves.
James A. Garfield
Commerce links all mankind in one common brotherhood of mutual dependence and interests.
James A. Garfield
