No Vices — 555
Some one was smoking in the presence of the President, and complimented him on having no vices, neither drinking nor smoking. “That is a doubtful compliment,” answered the President; “I recollect once being outside a stage in Illinois, and a man sitting by me offered me a cigar. I told him I had no vices. He said nothing; smoked for some time; and then grunted out, ‘It’s my experience that folks who have no vices have plaguey few virtues.’”
