Benjamin Harrison actually said...

"The wrong does not expend itself upon those whose votes are suppressed."

"The security of our coast cities against foreign attacks should not rest altogether in the friendly disposition of other nations."

"The state of the Union is known from day to day, and suggestions as to needed legislation find an earlier voice than that which speaks in these annual communications of the President to Congress."

"It is neither safe nor wise to leave these people longer to the expedients which have temporarily served them."
