More quotes by Rutherford B. Hayes
My policy is trust peace and to put aside the bayonet.
Rutherford B. Hayes
The independence of all political and other bother is a happiness.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Busy replying to letters from divers office-seekers. They come by the dozens.
Rutherford B. Hayes
He serves his party best who serves the country best.
Rutherford B. Hayes
I would honor the man who give to his country a good newspaper.
Rutherford B. Hayes
As friends go it is less important to live.
Rutherford B. Hayes
All appointments hurt. Five friends are made cold or hostile for every appointment no new friends are made. All patronage is perilous to men of real ability or merit. It aids only those who lack other claims to public support.
Rutherford B. Hayes
It is a government of the people by the people for the people no longer it is a government of corporations by corporations for corporations
Rutherford B. Hayes
Abolish plutocracy if you would abolish poverty.
Rutherford B. Hayes
The man of large and conspicuous public service in civil life must be content without the Presidency. Still more, the availability of a popular man in a doubtful State will secure him the prize in a close contest against the first statesman of the country whose State is safe.
Rutherford B. Hayes
I do not think a revival of business will be greatly postponed by [Samuel J.] Tilden's election. Business prosperity does not, inmy judgment, depend on government so much as men commonly think.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself indeed, it seems to execute itself.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end, liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments, and, if need be, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Nothing brings out the lower traits of human nature like office-seeking. Men of good character and impulses are betrayed by it into all sorts of meanness.
Rutherford B. Hayes
I am loaded down to the guards with educational, benevolent, and other miscellaneous public work, I must not attempt to do more. I cannot without neglecting imperative duties.
Rutherford B. Hayes
The reform [of the civil service] should be thorough, radical, and complete.
Rutherford B. Hayes
I regard the inflation acts as wrong in all ways. Personally I am one of the noble army of debtors, and can stand it if others can. But it is a wretched business.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Free government cannot long endure if property is largely in a few hands, and large masses of people are unable to earn homes, education, and a support in old age.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Abolish plutocracy if you would abolish poverty. As millionaires increase, pauperism grows. The more millionaires, the more paupers.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Do not let your bachelor ways crystallize so that you can't soften them when you come to have a wife and a family of your own.
Rutherford B. Hayes
