"The people cannot look to legislation generally for success. Industry, thrift, character, are not conferred by act or resolve. Government cannot relieve from toil. It can provide no substitute for the rewards of service. It can, of course, care for the defective and recognize distinguished merit. The normal must care for themselves. Self-government means self-support." -Calvin Coolidge
[I may not agree with Coolidge on everything, but in this I am quite certain that he spoke the truth.]
