Roland H. Hartley
Washington State Governor
* "Finding new sources of revenue is ever fraught with the danger of opening up new avenues of expenditure. In dealing with the tax question, our first task is to reduce the cost of conducting the public’s business, not to devise new ways and means of raising revenue to meet the mounting cost of government."
* "We may as well face the fact, and face it squarely, that we are too much governed. The agencies of government have multiplied, their ramifications extended, their powers enlarged, and their sphere widened, until the whole system is top-heavy. We are drifting into dangerous and insidious paternalism, submerging the self-reliance of the citizen, and weakening the responsibility and stifling the initiative of the individual. We suffer not from too little legislation, but from too much. We need fewer enactments and more repeals."

"By the time we awaken faintly to the awareness that we have been socially conditioned, we find ourselves so indoctrinated that it's difficult, if not impossible, to break the old patterns...Survival pressures demanding that we evolve, grow, and change, however, continue to proliferate.

We must reject everything which humiliates us. Humans are not objects of consumption. We must develop an absolute priority of humans ahead of profit — any humans ahead of any profit. Then we will survive. … Together." ~ Frank Herbert
"When a wise man does not understand, he says: "I do not understand." The fool and the uncultured are ashamed of their ignorance. They remain silent when a question could bring them wisdom." ~ Frank Herbert
