You may say to him, 'I see no probability of the British invading us'; but he will say to you, 'Be silent; I see it, if you don't. ↗

A long life in journalism convinced me many presidents ago that there should be a large air space between a journalist and the head of a state. ↗

When I found out that there was eight Presidents before George Washington, I wanted to smack somebody. ↗
