Margaret Chase Smith Quote

I am running against no one. I'd like to be President. I think my experience and my record are greater than any other candidate or any other of the unannounced candidates. It's a real challenge, and that's one of the paramount things. When people keep telling you that you can't do a thing, you kind of like to try it.

As quoted in "Nation: Madam Candidate" in TIME magazine (7 February 1964)
