Matching Quote

"The question is often heard, "What is to become of the man ... who, having been Chief Magistrate of the Republic retires at the end of his official term to private life?" It seems to me the reply is near at hand and sufficient: Let him, like every other good American citizen, be willing and prompt to bear his part in every useful work that will promote the welfare and the happiness of his family, his town, his State, and his country. With this disposition he will have work enough to do."

-Rutherford Birchard Hayes
