Famous quotes containing the words hereditary and/or offices:

    “We bring [to government] no hereditary status or gift of infallibility and none follows us from this place.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
