Cleveland on Where Honor Lies

Today is the birthday of Grover Cleveland, the only President (1837-1908) to serve two non-consecutive terms.
Honor lies in honest toil.

I have considered the pension list of the republic a roll of honor.

It is a condition which confronts us — not a theory.

No man has ever yet been hanged for breaking the spirit of a law.

Officeholders are the agents of the people, not their masters.

The ship of Democracy, which has weathered all storms, may sink through the mutiny of those aboard.
