Quote Investigator is a gem. There's another page[1] on a similar quote:

> If it is a ten-minute speech it takes me all of two weeks to prepare it; if it is a half-hour speech it takes me a week; if I can talk as long as I want to it requires no preparation at all. I am ready now.

~ Woodrow Wilson, as quoted in The Operative Miller 23
