Grover Cleveland

Grover Cleveland
I am President of all the people, good, bad, or indifferent, and as long as my opinions are known, ought perhaps to keep myself out of their squabbles. Grover Cleveland
Interest yourself in public affairs as a duty of citizenship, but do not surrender your faith to those who discredit and debase politics by scoffing at sentiment and principle, and whose political activity consists in attempts to gain popular support by cunning devices and shrewd manipulation. Grover Cleveland
Grover Cleveland quote: "Communism is a hateful thing, and a menace to peace and..."

Grover Cleveland
