President Cleveland

Famous quotes containing the words president and/or cleveland:

    The President has apples on the table
    And barefoot servants round him, who adjust
    The curtains to a metaphysical t
    And the banners of the nation flutter, burst
    On the flag-poles in a red-blue dazzle, whack
    At the halyards.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The truth is, I do not want that office. When the American people choose a President they require him to remain awake four years. I have come to a time in life when I need my sleep.
    —Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
