Grover Cleveland actually said...

"Attention is called to the existence of this excess of appropriation and the suggestion made that it be returned to the Treasury."

"I return without approval Senate bill No. 63."

"It is hardly possible that the bill now before me is intended to authorize an additional bridge between the two towns named."

"My approval of the bill is withheld for this reason and in order to prevent an unnecessary and confusing multiplicity of laws."
