Warren G. Harding: “The conduct of war itself is not more difficult than the solution of the problems which necessarily follow.”

The shield to the high-minded public servant who adheres to party policy is manifest, but the higher purpose is the good of the Republic as a whole.

We recognize the necessity of buying wherever we sell, and the permanency of trade lies in its acceptable exchanges.

We seek to undermine for others no industry by which they subsist; we are obligated to permit the undermining of none of our own which make for employment and maintained activities.

I do not mean that partisan preferences should hinder any public servant in the performance of a conscientious and patriotic official duty.
