In apprising FDR of the collapse of his court-packing plan, Vice President John Nance Garner said to Roosevelt, "Well, Captain, do you want it with the bark off or the bark on?"

Garner was referring to a beating with a hickory stick.

The quote I like was from an Indiana Democrat during the FDR years: “This is more power than a good man should want, or a bad man should have.”
