| 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), U.S. president. Letter, Butt to his sister-in-law, Clara F. Butt, March 4, 1910. Archie Butt, Taft and Roosevelt: The Intimate Letters of Archie Butt, Military Aide, 1: 294, Doubleday, Doran & Company (1930). Butt was citing Taft’s reply to James C. Hemphill, Democrat, longtime editor of the Charleston News and Courier, upon being asked if he liked being President. ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| With the love that is simply attachment, the slightest change in the object, such as a tiny change in attitude, immediately causes you to change. This is because your emotion is based on something very superficial. Take, for example, a new marriage. Often after a few weeks, months, or years the couple become enemies and finish up getting divorced. They married deeply in love - nobody marries with hatred - but after a short time everything changed. Why? |
