[Debt] It has driven thousands to drink, and the worry and anxiety it has created have literally taken the lives of many of our ablest men. It has prostrated individuals, enterprises and nations.

Keeping the commandments . . . is at once a demonstration of our intelligence, our knowledge, our character, and our wisdom.

Debt is a task master to be feared almost as much as the dictators themselves. It has enslaved thousands in its meshes. It has wrecked happy homes.

Everyone who believes in freedom must work diligently for sound money, fully redeemable. Nothing else is compatible with the humanitarian goals of peace and prosperity.

When I was in retreat I just did my meditation sessions and, in-between, reading and things I had to do.
