Franklin Knight Lane Quotes
A public office is not a job, it is an opportunity to do something for the public. For you are the makers of the flag and it is well that you glory in the making. I am not the flag: not at all. I am but its shadow. I have hardly seen my baby for six weeks; have been at the office from nine A.M. to eleven P.M. regularly. It is work and personal worth which make a State great both politically and industrially, and in my estimation they are to be found in largest proportions in the Democratic party. My stars and my stripes are your dream and your labors. Newspaper men, perhaps more than any other class, are rated by ability. No man should have a political office because he wants a job.
