Simpson’s Contemporary Quotations, compiled by James B. Simpson. 1988.
NUMBER:
618
AUTHOR:
Charles de Gaulle, President of France
QUOTATION:
Roosevelt, a false witness; Truman, a merchant; Eisenhower, I am told that on the golf links he is better [with a putter] than he is with the long shots and that doesn’t surprise me; Kennedy, the style of a hairdresser’s assistant—he combed his way through problems; Johnson, a truck driver or a stevedore—or a legionnaire.
