The Moral Test of Government

Hubert Humphrey:

“The moral test of government is how it treats those in the dawn of life, the children – those in the twilight of life, the elderly – and those in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped.? President James E. Faust: “I am a conservative on fiscal and property matters and I am a liberal in terms of human values and human rights. I believe what is said in the Book of Mormon, that the Lord values all of his children equally – black and white, bond and free, male and female, Jew and Gentile – and that the Lord likewise has compassion for the heathen. As a result, I like to see all people enjoy every advantage, every blessing, every opportunity, that comes to them by reasons of citizenship.?"
