Herbert Hoover actually said...

"I haven't anything of any great importance today."

"Messrs. [Ray Lyman] Wilbur, [William D.] Mitchell, and [Arthur M.] Hyde are not going to resign from the Cabinet."

"And in case that hardy perennial about Mr. [Andrew W.] Mellon turns up, you can be satisfied that that won't happen either."

"The Wilbur one seems to be happening every Friday now."
