The wisdom of Fillmore

Millard Fillmore

"The Sabbath I always regarded as a day of rest.

Besides being a religious duty it was essential to health.

On commencing my presidential career I found

that the Sabbath had frequently been employed by visitors

for private interviews with the President.

I determined to put an end to the custom

and ordered the door keeper

to meet all Sunday visitors with an indiscriminate refusal."

-- Millard Fillmore
