Grover Cleveland actually said...

"I suppose that every army ailment does not necessarily result in death or disability."

"I can see no pretext for allowing a pension in this case."

"This claimant's application for pension is now pending in the Pension Bureau, and has been sent to a special examiner for the purpose of taking additional proof."

"To depart from all rules regulating the granting of pensions by such an enactment as is proposed would establish a precedent which could not fail to cause embarrassment and perplexity."
