James Garfield Quotes

“By the time Garfield entered Congress, he was a highly skilled rhetorician. The only problem was that, as good as he was at speaking, he enjoyed it even more, perhaps too much. It was not unheard of for him to speak on the floor of Congress more than forty times in a single day, and when he gave a speech, it was rarely a short one.”
― Candice Millard, Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President
