White House Tapes

Famous quotes containing the words white house, white, house and/or tapes:

    On the whole, yes, I would rather be the Chief Justice of the United States, and a quieter life than that which becomes at the White House is more in keeping with the temperament, but when taken into consideration that I go into history as President, and my children and my children’s children are the better placed on account of that fact, I am inclined to think that to be President well compensates one for all the trials and criticisms he has to bear and undergo.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Why do we then shun death with anxious strife?
    If Light can thus deceive, wherefore not Life?
    —Joseph Blanco White (1775–1841)

    Lydia Hoyt Farmer (1842–1903)

    Everything our children hear, see, and feel is recorded onto a cassette. Guess who is the big star in their movie? You are. What you say and, more important, what you do, is recorded there for them to replay over and over again. We all have videocassettes. Adults just have larger libraries of tapes available.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)
