The health you enjoy is largely your choice

When met with a problem I always ask myself what is the right thing to do and then I do it.

I happen temporarily to occupy this big White House. I am living witness that any one of your children may look to come here as my father's child has.

My policy is to have no policy.

No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.

I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.

I do, therefore, invite my fellow citizens . . . to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.
