The 22nd and the 24th President of the U.S, Grover Cleveland, is known to be the only President to have served two non-consecutive terms. He started working with his brother and went on to work as a clerk while being a part-time law student. This helped him pass the bar exam after which he worked for a law firm for a few years before switching to private practice. He gained huge popularity as a lawyer which subsequently got him into politics and he was eventually elected as the ‘Mayor of Buffalo’. His fight against corruption helped him become the Governor of New York and eventually the ‘22nd U.S President’.

Following is a compilation of quotations and sayings by the great politician which have been excerpted from his speeches, writings, work, life and thoughts.
