There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that if you just legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, that their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous their prosperity will find its way up and through every class that rests upon it.
- William Jennings Bryan

When I publish a quotation, I do it because I like the quotation. I don't mean it to imply that I endorse everything the person has done in his life.
