    “Authority, though it err like others,
    Hath yet a kind of medicine in itself,
    That skins the vice o’ the top.”

    “The President has paid dear for his White House. It has commonly cost him all his peace, and the best of his manly attributes. To preserve for a short time so conspicuous an appearance before the world, he is content to eat dust before the real masters who stand erect behind the throne.”
