Grover Cleveland
Honor lies in honest toil.
Grover Cleveland
The lessons of paternalism ought to be unlearned and the better lesson taught that while the people should patriotically and cheerfully support their government, its functions do not include the support of the people.

Grover Cleveland
Under our scheme of government the waste of public money is a crime against the citizen.
Grover Cleveland
No investment on earth is so safe, so sure, so certain to enrich its owners as undeveloped realty. I always advise my friends to place their savings in realty near a growing city. There is no such savings bank anywhere.
Grover Cleveland
