Grover Cleveland
A cause worth fighting for is worth fighting for to the end.
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
It is no credit to me to do right. I am never under any temptation to do wrong!
Grover Cleveland
The appointing power of the Pope is treated as a public trust, and not as a personal perquisite.
Grover Cleveland
Once the coffers of the federal government are opened to the public, there will be no shutting them again.
Grover Cleveland
Unswerving loyalty to duty, constant devotion to truth, and a clear conscience will overcome every discouragement and surely lead the way to usefulness and high achievement.
Grover Cleveland
