More quotes by Rutherford B. Hayes
What Congress and the popular sentiment approve is rarely defeated by reason of constitutional objections. I trust the measure will turn out well. It is a great relief to me. Defeat in this way, after a full and public hearing before this [Electoral] Commission, is not mortifying in any degree, and success will be in all respects more satisfactory.

If any of my men kill prisoners, I'll kill them.
Rutherford B. Hayes
One of the tests of the civilization of people is the treatment of its criminals.
Rutherford B. Hayes
The religion of the Bible is the best in the world. I see the infinite value of religion. Let it be always encouraged. A world ofsuperstition and folly have grown up around its forms and ceremonies. But the truth in it is one of the deep sentiments in human nature.

Rutherford B. Hayes
Every age has its temptations, its weaknesses, its dangers. Ours is in the line of the snobbish and the sordid.
Rutherford B. Hayes
The progress of society is mainly the improvement in the condition of the workingmen of the world.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Perhaps the happiest moment of my life was then, when I saw that our line didn't break and that the enemy's did.
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
The gloomy theology of the orthodox--the Calvinists--I do not, I cannot believe. Many of the notions--nay, most of the notions--which orthodox people have of the divinity of the Bible, I disbelieve. I am so nearly infidel in all my views, that too, in spite of my wishes, that none but the most liberal doctrines can command my assent.
Rutherford B. Hayes
I too mean to be out of politics. The ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment gives me the boon of equality before the law, terminates my enlistment, and discharges me cured.
Rutherford B. Hayes
As friends go it is less important to live.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Fighting battles is like courting girls: those who make the most pretensions and are boldest usually win.
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.
