We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.

The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.

I turn, then, and look to the American people and to that God who has never forsaken them.

The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small piece of land.

If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.

I am slow to listen to criminations among friends, and never espouse their quarrels on either side. My sincere wish is that both sides will allow bygones to be bygones, and look to the present & future only.

I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races: that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people.
