Every man is born an original, but sadly, most men die copies.

I say 'try'; if we never try, we shall never succeed.

I can make more generals, but horses cost money.

When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run.

As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor;-let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the character of his own, and his children's liberty.

I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good. So while we do not propose any war upon capital, we do wish to allow the humblest man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else.

Now, and ever, I shall do all in my power for peace, consistently with the maintenance of government.
