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

When we are young we think our troubles a mighty business, that the world is spread out expressly as a stage for the particular drama of our lives and that we have a right to rant and foam at the mouth if we are crossed. I have done enough of that in my time. ~George Eliot
