 Well known for his wit and sense of humor , one of Marshall 's most enduring jokes came during a Senate debate in which , in response to Senator Joseph Bristow 's catalog of the nation 's needs , Marshall quipped the often @-@ repeated phrase , " What this country needs is a really good five @-@ cent cigar " , provoking laughter . After his terms as vice president , he opened an Indianapolis law practice , where he authored several legal books and his memoir , Recollections . He continued to travel and speak publicly . Marshall died while on a trip after suffering a heart attack in 1925 .
