"Difficulties can be a valuable tool in our pursuit of perfection. Adversity need have no necessary connection with failure."

The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.

— Abraham Lincoln
