Warren G. Harding
Born November 2, 1865, Blooming Grove, Ohio · Died August 2, 1923, San Francisco, California · Marion Lodge No. 70, Marion, OH
29th President of the United States, whose Masonic progress stalled for nineteen years after a blackball before he was raised in 1920.
Our most dangerous tendency is to expect too much of government, and at the same time do for it too little.
