Famous quotes containing the word values:

    “The return to solid values is always hard.... Distress, panic, and hard times have marked our pathway in returning to solid values.”
    —James A. Garfield (1831–1881)

    “Politics is not an end, but a means. It is not a product, but a process. It is the art of government. Like other values it has its counterfeits. So much emphasis has been placed upon the false that the significance of the true has been obscured and politics has come to convey the meaning of crafty and cunning selfishness, instead of candid and sincere service.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
