CARTER GLASS

If the President [FDR] asked Congress to commit suicide tomorrow they'd do it.

… utterly destitute of moral sensibility

Is there any reason why the American people should be taxed to guarantee the debts of banks, any more than they should be taxed to guarantee the debts of other institutions, including merchants, the industries, and the mills of the country?

A liberal is a man who is willing to spend somebody else's money.

The suggestion that we may devaluate the gold dollar fifty per cent means national repudiation. To me, it means dishonor. In my conception of it, it is immoral.

... an altruistic institution ... a distinctly nonpartisan organization whose functions are to be wholly divorced from politics.
