Grover Cleveland

Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours.

A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.

Sometimes I wake at night in the White House and rub my eyes and wonder if it is not all a dream.

I have tried so hard to do right.

Public officers are the servants and agents of the people, to execute the laws which the people have made.

The ship of democracy, which has weathered all storms, may sink through the mutiny of those on board.

Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.

What is the use of being elected or re-elected, unless you stand for something?

Some day I will be better remembered.

I know there is a Supreme Being who rules the affairs of men and whose goodness and mercy have always followed the American people, and I know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek His powerful aid.

Honor lies in honest toil.

After an existence of nearly 20 years of almost innocuous desuetude, these laws are brought forth.
