Grover Cleveland

My wildest dreams and the goals that I set for myself, I never imagined the success that I've been blessed with, and believe me, I feel blessed.

I'm not sure. But that bless-his/her-heart kind of melancholic humor is among my favorite things in the world.

David Rakoff

President Obama, he's never going to debate me on guns. His knowledge on that issue wouldn't fill a thimble, and he knows it. I would clean his clock, and he knows it.
