More quotes by Grover Cleveland
It is said that the quality of recent immigration is undesirable. The time is quite within recent memory when the same thing was said of immigrants who, with their descendants, are now numbered among our best citizens.
Grover Cleveland
Honor lies in honest toil.
Grover Cleveland
It is the responsibility of the citizens to support their government. It is not the responsibility of the government to support its citizens.
Grover Cleveland
Being president means leaving one's name in the history book of which few men are authors. It is my fortune to be blessed with a proud name, one that parents will employ for generations to instill the values of honesty, independence, and above all, courage in their sons.
Grover Cleveland
We will not forget that Liberty has made her home here, nor shall her chosen altar be neglected...A stream of light shall pierce the darkness of ignorance and mans oppression until Liberty enlightens the world.

Grover Cleveland
He who takes the oath today to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States only assumes the solemn obligation which every patriotic citizen . . . should share with him. . . . Your every voter, as surely as your Chief Magistrate, under the same high sanction, though in a different sphere, exercises a public trust.
Grover Cleveland
Men and times change-but principles-never.
Grover Cleveland
If it takes the entire army and navy to deliver a postal card in Chicago, that card will be delivered.
Grover Cleveland
There is no calamity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows a supine submission to wrong and injustice
Grover Cleveland
Officeholders are the agents of the people, not their masters.
Grover Cleveland
In the scheme of our national government, the presidency is preeminently the people's office.
