William Graham Sumner Quotes:
Ocupation: Political scientist
Life: October 30, 1840 - April 12, 1910
Birthday: October 30
Death: April 12
The Forgotten Man is delving away in patient industry, supporting his family, paying his taxes, casting his vote, supporting the church and the school, reading his newspaper, and cheering for the politician of his admiration, but he is the only one for whom there is no provision in the great scramble and the big divide. Such is the Forgotten Man. He works, he votes, generally he prays — but he always pays — yes, above all, he pays.
