It's not like I had aspirations, well, I did have aspirations to play Hamlet, which I ended up doing. ~James Cromwell

Let me make it clear that I do not assert that a President and the Congress must on all points agree with each other at all times.

But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
