    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)

    Say that she rail, why then I’ll tell her plain
    She sings as sweetly as a nightingale.
    Say that she frown, I’ll say she looks as clear
    As morning roses newly washed with dew.
    Say she be mute, and will not speak a word,
    Then I’ll commend her volubility,
    And say she uttereth piercing eloquence.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
