    “I want to preach a new doctrine. A complete separation of business and government.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Your business is not to catch men with show,
    With homage to the perishable clay,
    But lift them over it, ignore it all,
    Make them forget there’s such a thing as flesh.
    Your business is to paint the souls of men—”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “And having looked to government for bread, on the very first scarcity they will turn and bite the hand that fed them. To avoid that evil, government will redouble the causes of it; and then it will become inveterate and incurable.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
