On the contrary, a good library is a joyful place where the imagination roams free, and life is actively enriched.
William Henry Harrison, Speech, October 1, 1840
I believe and I say it is true Democratic feeling, that all the measures of the government are directed tot he purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
