As to the presidency proverb

 As to the presidency, the two happiest days of my life were those of my entrance upon the office and my surrender of it.
  Martin Van Buren

 My school days were the happiest days of my life; which should give you some indication of the misery I've endured over the past twenty-five years.

 I have a lot to be humble about, ... I'd like to say that it's the happiest day of my life, but it isn't: The happiest day of my life was when I was anointed a Catholic priest.
  Theodore Hesburgh

 [Carmen Electra spoke on] Entertainment Tonight ... What can I say? It was the happiest eight days of my life.

 [• Actress Carmen Electra, on] Entertainment Tonight, ... What can I say? It was the happiest eight days of my life.

 For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.

 The life and legacy of Ronald Reagan so shifted the paradigm of the American Presidency and the character of our nation that it becomes easy to overlook some of the smaller, more personal changes he brought to his office.

 For the immeasurable contribution of Ronald Wilson Reagan to the office of the Presidency, and to our great nation we all owe a debt of gratitude. Thank you, Mr. President. On behalf of all the men and women who served our nation under your Presidency, and those inspired by you who serve today. I salute you, sir.

 Our children are being taught a terrible lesson right now. The president of the United States, in all due respect to him and his office, he has hurt the office of the presidency and I believe he ought to be ashamed of himself.

 All I know is I came away from my discussions with him feeling it was going to be a pretty thorough and candid telling of his life, and that he was going to talk about all the principal events of his presidency. The heart of the book is what you'd expect it to be. The heart of it will be his presidency.

 The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded on a fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older.
  William Lyon Phelps

 In an era in which we know more than ever before about the ravages of drug abuse, surrender is not -- and cannot be -- an option, ... At a time when we see clearly the evil interdependence between the terrorists that kill American lives and the illegal drugs that steal American potential, surrender to either of these threats is surrender to both.
  John Ashcroft

 They rise to this office. They want a big-time presidency.

 It gives you life, but you can't hold on to it. You can't breathe indefinitely. We need to surrender to the fact that all efforts at permanence are hopeless. No structure we can build will protect us from the contingencies of life. But in the midst of that impermanence is the incredible gift of life.

 Anybody who wants the presidency so much that he'll spend two years organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office.
