Monday Morning Quote – Herbert Hoover on Making Ends Meet

So it’s Monday again (can we get a half-hearted yay?) and that means it’s time for the Monday Morning Quote. Here’s a good one from Herbert Hoover, 31st President of the United States, who is rumored to have spoken Mandarin Chinese with his wife whenever they wanted to communicate privately in front of mixed company.

About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends. - Herbert Hoover 31st President of the United States

Edited to add: We just realized it was International Talk Like a Pirate Day on the 19th. In belated celebration, we had the above quote transcreated into Pirate: “Y’aaar. Jus’ as we be havin’ doubloons aplenty, some bilge-sucking son of a biscuit eater goes an’ feeds me plans to the fishes.”

Any other suggestions? (Unfortunately, we didn’t have a glossary.)
