.....Presidents are made, not born. That’s a good thing to remember. It’s silly to think that Presidents are born, because very few people are 35 years old at birth, and those who are won’t admit it. So if you’re only 16 don’t be discouraged, because it’s only a phase and there’s nothing wrong with you that you won’t outgrow.
..........— Grace Ethel Cecile Rosalie Allen (26 July 1895 [year uncertain] - 27 August 1964). Gracie Allen was an American comedian, actress, singer, dancer, and the wife of George Burns. How to Become President (1940), Ch. 2: "Others make good, why not you?"
