Anyone that wants the presidency so much that hell spend two years organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office. – David Broder
The President has paid dear for his White House. It has commonly cost him all his peace, and the best of his manly attributes. To preserve for a short time so conspicuous an appearance before the world, he is content to eat dust before the real masters who stand erect behind the throne. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
