More quotes by 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
I hope you will be benefitted by your churchgoing. Where the habit does not Christianize, it generally civilizes. That is reason enough for supporting churches, if there were no higher.
Rutherford B. Hayes
The progress of society is mainly the improvement in the condition of the workingmen of the world.

Rutherford B. Hayes
I have the greatest aversion to being a candidate on a ticket with a man whose record as an upright public man is to be in question--to be defended from the beginning to the end.
Rutherford B. Hayes
One thing you may be sure of, I was not a party to covering up anything.
Rutherford B. Hayes
He serves his party best who serves the country best.
Rutherford B. Hayes
I am a freeman and jolly as a beggar.
Rutherford B. Hayes
For character, to prepare for the inevitable I recommend selections from [Ralph Waldo] Emerson. His writings have done for me far more than all other reading.
Rutherford B. Hayes
As friends go it is less important to live.
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
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
We can travel longer, night and day, without losing our spirits than almost any persons we ever met.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Busy replying to letters from divers office-seekers. They come by the dozens.
Rutherford B. Hayes
