“I dont believe in labels. I want to do the best I can, all the time. I want to be progressive without getting both feet off the ground at the same time. I want to be prudent without having my mind closed to anything that is new or different. I have often said that I was proud that I was a free man first and an American second, and a public servant third and a Democrat fourth, in that order, and I guess as a Democrat, if I had to takeplace a label on myself, I would want to be a progressive who is prudent.” IfsMenWantMindFirstsBelieveSaidI CanDifferentOrderFeetProudThirdsDemocratLabelsServantProgressiveFourthDo The BestFree ManPrudentPublic ServantsFeet Off The Ground Book:Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Lyndon B.

“Louis XIV was very frank and sincere when he said: I am the State. The modern statist is modest. He says: I am the servant of the State; but, he implies, the State is God.

But you cannot revolt against the god State and against his humble handy man, the bureaucrat.” MenSaidStatesCoursesStruggleModernKingsHumbleServantSincereFrankModestRevoltBureaucratsHandyBourbon Author:Ludwig von Mises
