Grover Cleveland actually said...

"It must be admitted that in some cases justice and equity can not be done nor the charitable tendencies of the Government in favor of worthy objects of its care indulged under fixed rules."

"A sufficient reason for the return of the particular bill now under consideration is found in the fact that it provides that the name of Andrew J. Hill be placed upon the pension roll."

"This proposed legislation does injustice to a very worthy pensioner who was on the pension roll at the time of the passage of the law."

"These bills I have approved on the assumption that the claims were meritorious and that by the passage of the bills the Government has waived full proof of the facts."
