    “No person connected with me by blood or marriage will be appointed to office.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “The poet will prevail to be popular in spite of his faults, and in spite of his beauties too. He will hit the nail on the head, and we shall not know the shape of his hammer. He makes us free of his hearth and heart, which is greater than to offer one the freedom of a city.”
