More quotes by James A. Garfield
The right of private judgment is absolute in every American citizen.
James A. Garfield

James A. Garfield
Things don't turn up in this world until somebody turns them up.
James A. Garfield
The civil service can never be placed on a satisfactory basis until it is regulated by law.
James A. Garfield
Power exhibits itself under two distinct forms,--strength and force,--each possessing peculiar qualities, and each perfect in its own sphere. Strength is typified by the oak, the rock, the mountain. Force embodies itself in the cataract, the tempest, and the thunder-bolt.
James A. Garfield

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
Talleyrand once said to the first Napoleon that the United States is a giant without bones. Since that time our gristle has been rapidly hardening.
James A. Garfield

James A. Garfield
All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people.
James A. Garfield

James A. Garfield
I admitted, that the world had existed millions of years. I am astonished at the ignorance of the masses on these subjects. Hugh Miller has it right when he says that 'the battle of evidences must now be fought on the field of the natural sciences.'
James A. Garfield
It is the high privilege and sacred duty of those now living to educate their successors and fit them, by intelligence and virtue, for the inheritance which awaits them.
James A. Garfield
Most human organizations that fall short of their goals do so not because of stupidity or faulty doctrines, but because of internal decay and rigidification.
James A. Garfield
If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.
James A. Garfield
A nation is not worthy to be saved if, in the hour of its fate, it will not gather up all its jewels of manhood and life, and go down into the conflict however bloody and doubtful, resolved on measureless ruin or complete success.
James A. Garfield
For love of country, they accepted death.
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
