    Twinkling stars love-thoughts provoke,
    Danger hence good care doth keep,
    Jealousy itself doth sleep;

    What I am anxious to do is to get the best bill possible with the least amount of friction.... I wish to avoid [splitting our party]. I shall do all in my power to retain the corporation tax as it is now and also force a reduction of the [tariff] schedules. It is only when all other efforts fail that I’ll resort to headlines and force the people into this fight.
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
