Grover Cleveland actually said...

"I am entirely satisfied that the public building provided for in this bill is not immediately necessary."

"I think little, if any, more infirmity than is usually found in men of the age of the claimant."

"The Government ought not to be called upon to insure against the quarrelsome propensities of its individual soldiers."

"It is hardly fair to ask the Government to grant a pension for the freak or gross heedlessness and recklessness of this soldier."
