QUOTE : Sometimes I think I was the official killer of bad bills. One I recollect at this minute was about exemptin’ debtors from their just debts. The more I listened to ’em argue about lettin’ people get out from under their legitimate obligations, the madder I got. If the day ever comes when you can legislate people out of their honest debts . . . well, I never want to live to see it. The country will be in a bad way, that’s all I got to say for it.
