—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own.

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“... anything so delightful as Washington I have never seen elsewhere. There were a mingled simplicity and grandeur, a mingled state and quiet intimacy, a brilliancy of conversation—the proud prominence of intellect over material prosperity which does not exist in any other city of the Union.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
