William Taft actually said...

"Nothing, however, halts business and interferes with the course of prosperity so much as the threatened revision of the tariff."

"If I fail to recommend the reduction of excessive duties to this extent, I shall fail in my duty to the consuming public."

"If I sign this joint resolution, I do not see how I can escape responsibility for the judicial recall of the Arizona constitution."

"Constitutions are checks upon the hasty action of the majority."
