"Now, of course I have to appoint human beings to office."

"I thought that he was a man of high character, eminence at the bar, and great ability, and would make a fine Attorney General."

"Well, I think that his qualifications ought to be presented to the Senate and go into the record, and that is one of the reasons why I have re-submitted his name."

"Of course, we want to withdraw."
