    I know a lot of wonderful men married to pills, and I know a lot of pills married to wonderful women. So one shouldn’t judge that way.
    —Barbara Bush (b. 1925)

    Some of the offers that have come to me would never have come if I had not been President. That means these people are trying to hire not Calvin Coolidge, but a former President of the United States. I can’t make that kind of use of the office.... I can’t do anything that might take away from the Presidency any of its dignity, or any of the faith people have in it.
    Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
