Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bailey Controversy in Texas, Vol. 1 of 2: With Lessons From the Political Life-Story of a Fallen Idol This Volume. Its object, truth; the plan, research; the process, reason; the result, information; the aim, patriotic inspiration. Impartiality. Thy country and its honor alone consider. Forget thy prejudice; forsake thy bias. Regard not men; only the principles, ideals, and practices for which they stand. Master first thyself; thy temper calm; thy tongue restrain. Look, listen, learn; so shall reason reign, prejudice flee, truth triumph, tho trampled long, and patriotic ideals be established as the only safe guides to civic righteousness. So, also, shall honest and enlightened self-government prevail and disappear not from among the sons of men. - The Author. Politics. To let politics become a cesspool, and then avoid it because it is a cesspool, is a double crime. - No man should be a partisan in the sense of one who votes for his party, right or wrong. - Howard Crosby. Office. If ever this free people - if this government itself is ever utterly demoralized, it will come from this incessant human wrangle and struggle for office, which is but a way to live without work. - Abraham Lincoln. Conscience. Cowardice asks, Is it safe? Expediency asks. Is it politic? Vanity asks, Is it popular? but Conscience asks. Is it right? - Punshon. He whose principles are thoroughly established, will not be easily led from the right path. The decrees of Heaven are not immutable, for tho a throne may be gained by virtue, it may be lost by vice. - Elbert Hubbard. He who wrongs himself, sows nettles in his own heart. - Confucius. He who wrongs another, wrongs both himself and that other; he who betrays a public trust, has his crime thereby increased as is one man to a multitude of men. - The Author. Graft, grand or petty, is moral, financial and spiritual skidoo for any man who indulges in it. - Fra Elbertas.
