Capitalism is based on self-interest and self-esteem; it holds integrity and trustworthiness as cardinal virtues and makes them pay off in the marketplace, thus demanding that men survive by means of virtue, not vices. It is this superlatively moral system that the welfare statists propose to improve upon by means of preventative law, snooping bureaucrats, and the chronic goad of fear.
Alan Greenspan— "The Assault on Integrity", 1963
If any prayer be a duty, then secret prayer must be superlatively so, for it prepares and fits the soul for all other supplication.

"In the house of God" he wanted to meditate" upon the simple varieties, and the undoubted facts of religion;" not upon mysteries and abstractions.
— Austin Phelps, p. 478. (Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895))
