John Nance Garner quotes

John Nance Garner was an American politician who served as the 32nd Vice President of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt.

He was often remembered for his pragmatic approach and his famous remark about the vice presidency being "not worth a bucket of warm spit." Here are 2 of his quotes:

Worst damnfool mistake I ever made was letting myself be elected Vice President of the United States. Should have stuck with my old chores as Speaker of the House. I gave up the second most important job in the Government for one that didn't amount to a hill of beans. I spent eight long years as Mr. Roosevelt's spare tire. I might still be Speaker if I didn't let them elect me Vice-President.
