Retired Democratic

“Nothing is so abject and pathetic as a politician who has lost his job, save only a retired stud-horse.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“One reason—perhaps the chief—of the virility of the Roosevelts is [their] very democratic spirit. They have never felt that because they were born in a good position they could put their hands in their pockets and succeed. They have felt, rather, that being born in a good position, there is no excuse for them if they did not do their duty by the community.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
