Warren G. Harding Quotes Click here for Warren G. Harding books Warren G. Harding (The American Presidents Series) "I don't know much about Americanism, but it's a damn good word with which to carry an election." "America's present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise; not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality." "In the great fulfillment we must have a citizenship less concerned about what the government can do for it and more anxious about what it can do for the nation." "Our most dangerous tendency is to expect too much of government, and at the same time do for it too little." "The success of our popular government rests wholly upon the correct interpretation of the deliberate, intelligent, dependable popular will of America." "There is something inherently wrong, something out of
accord with the ideals of representative democracy, when one portion of our
citizenship turns its activities to private gain amid defensive war while
another is fighting, sacrificing, or dying for national preservation."
