Are you sure you have the right photo? I think that's a photograph of stage actress Julia Dean Cooper. According to her Wikipedia page, she was the daughter of actor and theater manager Edwin Dean:

Yes, I am sure I have the right photo. I agree the other lady could be a twin, but the President's daughter whom I posted did not have a twin sister.

Hint #1: Like my previous question, this daughter of a President has an article devoted to her in Wikipedia.

Note to Steve: It's possible that there is some sort of confusion/mistake between photos of the Presidential daughter I am looking for and Julia Dean Cooper. The two women do look very much alike.
I'll explain why I am confused after the right answer is posted.

I'm not sure about the period - the hairdo looks like 19th century, the dotted blouse rather 20th century. Was the photo taken in the 20th century?

The image is from the 19th century.

Total shot in the dark. Grover Cleveland?

Congratulations, Steve! Yes, it is Mary Abigail Fillmore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Abigail_Fillmore

The image I posted is a reverse image of the photos here

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/2706...l-fillmore

and

https://filiopietismprism.blogspot.com/2...lmore.html

However, the reversed image I posted looks exactly like an actress named Julia Dean.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Dean...born_1830)

Thus, I am confused. I think I posted an image of Millard Fillmore's daughter, but I am not 100% certain. Possibly someone can clear up the confusion.

Please try to answer without googling.

Which President is responsible for this quote?
