Grover Cleveland Quotes
What is the use of being elected or reelected, unless you stand for something.
The ship of Democracy, which has weathered all storms, may sink through the mutiny of those aboard.
He mocks the people who proposes that the government shall protect the rich and that they in turn will care for the laboring poor.
A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.
Someday I will be better remembered.
No man has ever yet been hanged for breaking the spirit of the law.
And still the question, “What shall be done with our ex-Presidents?” is not laid at rest; and I sometimes think Watterson’s solution of it, “Take them out and shoot them,” is worthy of attention.
It is a condition which confronts us – not a theory.
Honor lies in honest toil.
A man is known by the company he keeps and also by the company from which he is kept out.
I know there is a Supreme Being who rules the affairs of men and whose goodness and mercy have always followed the American people, and I know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek His powerful aid.
We do not believe that the American people will knowingly elect to the Presidency a coarse debauchee who would bring his harlots with him to Washington, and hire lodgings for them convenient to the White House.
Sometimes I wake at night in the White House and rub my eyes and wonder if it is not all a dream.
I would rather the man who presents something for my consideration subject me to a zephyr of truth and a gentle breeze of responsibility rather than blow me down with a curtain of hot wind.
Officeholders are the agents of the people, not their masters.
There is no calamity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows a supine submission to wrong and injustice.
Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.
There surely is no difference in his duties and obligations, whether a person is entrusted with the money of one man or many. And yet it sometimes appears as though the office-holder assumes that a different rule of fidelity prevails between him and the taxpayer.

Eisenhower – Lunch with Cleveland’s Wife Frances - Forgetting what got you where you are at can almost be as bad as a famous general forgetting a famous former First Lady. 
Grover Cleveland – Mouth Cancer Surgery - “Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.” Psalm 51:8 KJV Sensing the already nervous mood of the nation, the President didn’t want to startle the nation any more by telling it that their leader was ill. One by one, people passed by him. No one wanted to help. I just have a hard time, sometimes, arranging the “stick” on the correct side of the “o” to form one of those letters. 
Fun Presidential Facts – Grover Cleveland - Here are some fun facts and personal opinions about President Grover Cleveland 
Grover Cleveland – Pullman Strike and Labor Day - "They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.” Nehemiah 4:17 KJV When the mail stopped running this President took matters in his own hands. He probably had no idea that his story would one day be in the Bible. He barked out his commands to me. I was to take the fittings one by one and move them to the trailer’s new location. 
List: What similiar trait do I have with Presidents Garfield to Wilson - Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, B. Harrison, McKinley, T. Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson. These are the twentieth through twenty-eighth Presidents. This is a list of how I think I am like them. 
Grover Cleveland – Was it His Child? - “And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.” Genesis 38:24 KJV Her name was Maria Halpin and he was the “other” bachelor president. Er doesn’t sound like he was too nice of a guy because God zapped him in Genesis because he was so evil. I reflected on how much this can be like our life of sin.
