Rutherford B. Hayes
The first word he said was What to Bell, than he said never mind

The Republicans did not want US grant to run for president for a third term Grant is said to have thought about it, but the scandals during his administration made the idea impossible. Hayes was a good choice for the Republicans. He was wounded three times as a Union general and had been active in anti-slavery politics before the US Civil War. Also, Hayes was the sitting governor of an important state, Ohio. He won the presidential election against the Democrat candidate Samuel Tilden from New York.
The entire quote from Hayes is:"Abolish plutocracy if you would abolish poverty. As millionaires increase, pauperism grows. The more millionaires, the more paupers."I am not sure why it has been remembered, but it is to the point and said by a famous person. It seems applicable today as well as 125 years ago when it was said. It is somewhat ironic since Hayes was elected in large part by plutocrats and was no pauper himself. Perhaps the irony appeals to people who quote it today.

Hunter Hayes's favorite color is green! He said it on one of his interviews! "Green, I put it one of my songs." -Hunter Hayes

According to writer William S. Burroughs, Grant's last words were "It is raining Anita Huffington." Anita Huffing was Grant's nurse. Supposedly it was a beautiful sunny day when he said this to her as he gave up the ghost.
