“Now more then ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be brilliant, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature.
“If the next 100 years does not find us a great nation, it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.”
James Garfield, 20th President of the United States of America and a minister of the gospel during the Great Awakening, 1876
