“People run away from the name subsidy. It is a subsidy. I am not afraid to call it so. It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit....

—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“I’ve got to go. That’s one of the penalties of being a doctor. I never seem to finish a conversation.”
