"Failure to accord credit to anyone for what he may have done is a great weakness in any man." - William Howard Taft quotes from BrainyQuote.com

# data[].attributes.body
Presidents come and go, but the Supreme Court goes on forever.

We live in a stage of politics, where legislators seem to regard the passage of laws as much more important than the results of their enforcement.

If this humor be the safety of our race, then it is due largely to the infusion into the American people of the Irish brain.

Don't write so that you can be understood, write so that you can't be misunderstood.

Failure to accord credit to anyone for what he may have done is a great weakness in any man.

Harding's short term as president prevented him from crafting a distinctive foreign policy and from making peace arrangements in the Pacific. His style was to defer to Congress as much as possible. The Washington Disarmament Conference of 1921 is a good example. The conference, which succeeded in reducing the navies of the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and Italy, came at the insistence of the Senate, not the administration.

Warren Harding took office promising to undo many of the progressive policies of Woodrow Wilson's administration. Ushering in an era of conservative Republicanism, Harding wasted little time in cutting taxes on higher incomes and raising tariff rates. However, charges of patronage and wrongdoing sidetracked the president's agenda early in his administration. The accusations later proved to be true. In the wake of scandals and his untimely death while still in office, Harding's domestic achievements lost what little luster they had.

Honest conviction is my courage; the Constitution is my guide.

The goal to strive for is a poor government but a rich people.

If I am shot at, I want no man to be in the way of the bullet.

It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.

There are no good laws but such as repeal other laws.

I am sworn to uphold the Constitution as Andy Johnson understands it and interprets it.

I feel incompetent to perform duties... which have been so unexpectedly thrown upon me.

Foreign policy- Drove the Bush presidency: military operations were conducted in Panama and the Persian Gulf; the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, and the Soviet Union dissolved two years later.
Domestic Policies-Early in his term, Bush faced the problem of what to do with leftover deficits spawned by the Reagan years. At $220 billion in 1990, the deficit had grown to three times its size since 1980. Bush was dedicated to curbing the deficit, believing that America could not continue to be a leader in the world without doing so. He began an effort to persuade the Democratic controlled Congress to act on the budget; with Republicans believing that the best way was to cut government spending, and Democrats convinced that the only way would be to raise taxes, Bush faced problems when it came to consensus building

Not prosperity, but foreign policy, dominated McKinley's Administration. Reporting the stalemate between Spanish forces and revolutionaries in Cuba, newspapers screamed that a quarter of the population was dead and the rest suffering acutely. Public indignation brought pressure upon the President for war. Unable to restrain Congress or the American people, McKinley delivered his message of neutral intervention in April 1898. Congress thereupon voted three resolutions tantamount to a declaration of war for the liberation and independence of Cuba.
