William Howard Taft
Next to the right of liberty, the right of property is the most important individual right guaranteed by the Constitution . .
William Howard Taft
The intoxication of power rapidly sobers off in the knowledge of its restrictions and under the prompt reminder of an ever-present and not always considerate press, as well as the kindly suggestions that not infrequently come from Congress.
