It costs ten times more to govern us than it used to, and we are not governed one-tenth as good.

Nothing would lower costs more than having each patient pay those costs. And nothing is less likely to happen.
If I only have ten minutes, Sam, this is what I want to say. You're not the best of us. You're more than that. You're better than all of us.

Those Christians who are very strict in their observances, think a good deal more of the Sabbath than of man, a great deal more of the Bible than of the truth, and ten times more of their creed than of the will of God. Of course, if they heard anyone utter such words as I have just written, they would say he was and atheist.
If men will not be governed by the Ten Commandments, they shall be governed by the ten thousand commandments
