White House Chief

Famous quotes containing the words white, house and/or chief:

    The villagers are untying their disguises, they are shaking hands.
    Whose is that long white box in the grove, what have they
    accomplished, why am I cold?
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    I want a house that has got over all its troubles; I don’t want to spend the rest of my life bringing up a young and inexperienced house.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)

    On the whole, yes, I would rather be the Chief Justice of the United States, and a quieter life than that which becomes at the White House is more in keeping with the temperament, but when taken into consideration that I go into history as President, and my children and my children’s children are the better placed on account of that fact, I am inclined to think that to be President well compensates one for all the trials and criticisms he has to bear and undergo.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
