The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Grover Cleveland
- In calm water every ship has a good captain.
- Officeholders are the agents of the people, not their masters.
- A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.
- Though the people support the government; the government should not support the people.
- The ship of Democracy, which has weathered all storms, may sink through the mutiny of those aboard.
- The laws should be rigidly enforced which prohibit the immigration of a servile class to compete with American labor, with no intention of acquiring citizenship, and bringing with them and retaining habits and customs repugnant to our civilization.
- It is said that the quality of recent immigration is undesirable. The time is quite within recent memory when the same thing was said of immigrants who, with their descendants, are now numbered among our best citizens.
- The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood.
- A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil.
- Under our scheme of government the waste of public money is a crime against the citizen.
Grover Cleveland (1837–1908) was the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, the only leader to serve two non-consecutive terms (1885–1889 and 1893–1897). Born in New Jersey and raised in New York, he built his reputation as a principled lawyer and reformer, rising to become mayor of Buffalo and governor of New York.
As president, Cleveland championed honesty and fought corruption, vetoing wasteful bills and advocating for limited government. He opposed high tariffs and supported the gold standard, but his second term was marked by economic hardship during the Panic of 1893. His strict adherence to conservative fiscal policies made him both respected and controversial.
Cleveland’s leadership style emphasized integrity over political favors, making him popular among reformers but alienating some party members. After leaving office, he retired to Princeton, New Jersey. His legacy remains that of a steadfast leader committed to economic responsibility and political reform.
