More quotes by Rutherford B. Hayes
All appointments hurt. Five friends are made cold or hostile for every appointment no new friends are made. All patronage is perilous to men of real ability or merit. It aids only those who lack other claims to public support.
Rutherford B. Hayes
We can travel longer, night and day, without losing our spirits than almost any persons we ever met.
Rutherford B. Hayes

We believe that the cause of good government and the cause of religion both suffer by all such interference.

Rutherford B. Hayes
I have the greatest aversion to being a candidate on a ticket with a man whose record as an upright public man is to be in question--to be defended from the beginning to the end.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Perhaps the happiest moment of my life was then, when I saw that our line didn't break and that the enemy's did.
Rutherford B. Hayes
I would honor the man who give to his country a good newspaper.
Rutherford B. Hayes
I regard the inflation acts as wrong in all ways. Personally I am one of the noble army of debtors, and can stand it if others can. But it is a wretched business.
Rutherford B. Hayes
If any of my men kill prisoners, I'll kill them.
