“... many of the so-called grievances of women are false. No man ever unfairly discriminated against me. If one tried to, I ... was equal to the emergency, and such experience really added a great deal to the zest of life.... women, as a habit, over- estimated their ability, and ... they were too untrained even to appreciate the magnitude of their undertaking.”

“I cannot exaggerate the waste of the Presidents time and the consumption of his nervous vitality involved in listening to congressmens intercession as to local appointments.

How should he be able to know ... who is best fitted to fill such a place?”
—William Howard Taft (18571930)
