Interior Secretary

Famous quotes containing the words interior and/or secretary:

    Or would interior time, that could delay
    The sentence chronic with the last assize,
    Start running backwards with its timely lies,
    I might have time to live the love I say....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The truth is, the whole administration under Roosevelt was demoralized by the system of dealing directly with subordinates. It was obviated in the State Department and the War Department under [Secretary of State Elihu] Root and me [Taft was the Secretary of War], because we simply ignored the interference and went on as we chose.... The subordinates gained nothing by his assumption of authority, but it was not so in the other departments.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
