When I lay down the reins of this administration, I want to have one friend left. And that friend is myself.

No policy that does not rest upon some philosophical public opinion can be permanently maintained.

While the people retain their virtue and vigilance, no administration, by any extreme of wickedness or folly, can very seriously injure the government in the short space of four years.

I couldn't be two faced. If I had two faces, I wouldn't wear this one.

We were proclaiming ourselves political hypocrites before the world, by thus fostering Human Slavery and proclaiming ourselves, at the same time, the sole friends of Human Freedom.

The struggle of today is not altogether for today - it is for a vast future also.

I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.
