| Kindly observe the tankard of beer I offer you. This bock was not made simply to drink. It was made to speak to you. And if you, with your tankard of beer, could learn the dialogue, you would discover that in your tankard lives a milky way of tiny bubbles. And inside each bubble, there exists an idea that is waiting to be discovered. Each one of these ideas can make you grand and large and fortunate if you so desire to learn to talk with beer. |

| The truth is, the whole administration under Roosevelt was demoralized by the system of dealing directly with subordinates. It was obviated in the State Department and the War Department under [Secretary of State Elihu] Root and me [Taft was the Secretary of War], because we simply ignored the interference and went on as we chose.... The subordinates gained nothing by his assumption of authority, but it was not so in the other departments. |
| ~ William Howard Taft (1857–1930), U.S. president. Letter to his daughter, Helen H. Taft, October 3, 1909. Henry F. Pringle, The Life and Times of William Howard Taft, 1: 492, Farrar & Rinehart (1939). On Taft’s suspicion that Roosevelt had been less than a perfect president. ~ |
