Famous quotes containing the words experience and/or offices:

    My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whisky.
    William Faulkner (1897–1962)

    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)
