William Howard Taft
I don't know whither we are drifting, but I do know where every real thinking patriot will stand in the end, and that's by the Constitution.
William Howard Taft
We shall have to begin all over again. [Taft hoped that] the Senators might change their minds, or that the people might change the Senate instead of which they changed me.
William Howard Taft
