Random Quote

The small political infection planted in our midst by the founding fathers had become a huge tumor with a seemingly unlimited capacity for growth. There was no apparent reason why we should not all in due course become politicians and lobbyists, except for the sordid necessity that some one get the wherewithal out of the ground and through the factories.

— Harvey Fergusson, 1923, Capitol Hill: A Novel of Washington Life
