I knew that this job would be too much for me.
Warren G. Harding
He liked to play chess and do intelligent things, and I was a serious drinker and nonthinker.
Warren G. Harding
My once-keen analytical mind has become so dulled by endless hours of baking in the hot sun, thrashing about in tight chimneys, pulling at impossibly heavy loads, freezing my ass off.... so that now my mental state is comparable to that of a Peruvian Indian, well stoked on coca leaves.
Warren G. Harding

Warren G. Harding

Warren G. Harding
We must proceed with a full realization that no statute enacted by man can repeal the inexorable laws of nature.
Warren G. Harding
Ambition is a commendable attribute, without which no man succeeds. Only inconsiderate ambition imperils.
Warren G. Harding
Treat your friend as if he will one day be your enemy, and your enemy as if he will one day be your friend
Warren G. Harding
There is no relationship here between Church and State. Religious liberty has its unalterable place, along with civil and human liberty, in the very foundation of the Republic. I hold it [religious intolerance] to be a menace to the very liberties which we boast and cherish.
Warren G. Harding
I don't know much about Americanism, but it's a damn good word with which to carry an election.
Warren G. Harding
I hurt with the insatiate longing, until I feel that there will never be any relief until I take a long, deep, wild draught on your lips.
Warren G. Harding
I continued with whatever 'qualified climbers' I could con into this rather unpromising venture.
Warren G. Harding
I don't know what to do or where to turn in this taxation matter. Somewhere there must be a book that tells all about it, where I could go to straighten it out in my mind. But I don't know where the book is, and maybe I couldn't read it if I found it.
Warren G. Harding
There's good in everybody. Boost. Don't knock.
