If by democratic methods people get a government strong enough to protect them from fear and starvation, their democracy succeeds; but if they do not, they grow impatient. Therefore, the only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over its government.

I can only do what's easy. I can only entice and be enticed. I can't, and won't, attempt difficult relations.

And Heaven help any one whom I do marry, for I shall certainly run away from him before you can say 'Jack Robinson.
