John C. Calhoun Favor Quotations

I am in favor of high wages and agree that the higher the wages, the stronger the evidence of prosperity, provided (and that is the important point) they are so naturally, by the effectiveness of industry, and not in consequence of an inflated currency or any artificial regulation.

I am, on principle, opposed to war and in favor of peace because I regard peace as a positive good and war as a positive evil.
