| If the Nation is living within its income, its credit is good. If, in some crises, it lives beyond its income for a year or two, it can usually borrow temporarily at reasonable rates. But if, like a spendthrift, it throws discretion to the winds, and is willing to make no sacrifice at all in spending; if it extends its taxing to the limit of the people’s power to pay and continues to pile up deficits, then it is on the road to bankruptcy. |
| ~ FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, governor of New York, campaign address on the federal budget, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, October 19, 1932.—The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1928–1932, p. 797 (1938). ~ |

| I am absolutely opposed to the death penalty. My predecessor abolished it in Tibet. Today I find it unbelievable that it persists in large countries like China and India. They still kill people in the name of justice in the country of Mahatma Gandhi! In the very land where the Buddha taught! The death penalty is pure violence, a barbaric and useless violence. Dangerous even, because it can only lead to other acts of violence - as all violence does. The supreme punishment ought to be a life sentence, and one without brutality. |

| Though you can recite many words of the teachings, if your words do not accord with your actions, you are like one who counts the wealth of another, and you are not to be numbered among the priesthood. |
