I would rather believe something and suffer for it,
than to slide along into success without opinion.
I love agitation and investigation and glory
in defending unpopular truth against popular error.
March 3, 1881: Tonight I am a private citizen.
Tomorrow I shall be called to assume
new responsibilities and, the day after,
the broadside of the world's
wrath will strike.

| James Abram Garfield 20th President of the United States: (1881-1881) |
His presidency lasted
slightly more than
half of a year.
For slightly less than
half of that time
a bullet lodged
in his body.
