| As a guide in expounding and applying the provisions of the Constitution, the debates and incidental decisions of the Convention can have no authoritative character . . . [T]he legitimate meanings of the Instrument must be derived from the text itself; or if a key is to be sought elsewhere, it must be . . . in the sense attached to it by the people in their respective State Conventions, where it received all the authority which it possesses. |
| ~ Letter to Thomas Ritchie, September 15, 1821 (James Madison, 1865, III, page 228) ~ |

| Our national debt after all is an internal debt owed not only by the Nation but to the Nation. If our children have to pay interest on it they will pay that interest to themselves. A reasonable internal debt will not impoverish our children or put the Nation into bankruptcy. |
| ~ President FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, address to the American Retail Federation, Washington, D.C., May 22, 1939.—The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1939, p. 351 (1941). ~ |

| Aggression is an intimate part of ourselves. That is why we have to struggle. Men raised in a strictly nonviolent environment have managed to become the most horrible butchers. This proves that the most insane aggressiveness continues to live in the depths of us. But our true nature is calm. We all know that the human mind is agitated, subject to frightful jolts. But this agitation isn't the dominant force. It is possible and necessary to master it. |

| I think you must remember that a writer is a simple-minded person to begin with and go on that basis. He's not a great mind, he's not a great thinker, he's not a great philosopher, he's a story-teller. |
