Quote by Dwight D. Eisenhower

Oh, that lovely title, ex-president.

Oh, that lovely title, ex-president.

Summary

This quote is a sarcastic remark reflecting on the notion of being an "ex-president." It suggests that the title itself may hold an allure or appeal due to the power and prestige associated with being a president. However, the irony lies in the implied suggestion that the responsibilities and pressures of being a president may outweigh the perceived glamour of the title. Thus, it implies that the title of "ex-president" might be more desirable precisely because it signals the end of those burdensome obligations.
