Seriously, I do not think I am fit for the Presidency.

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.

Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.

These men ask for just the same thing, fairness, and fairness only. This, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have.

It is not merely for to-day, but for all time to come that we should perpetuate for our children's children this great and free government, which we have enjoyed all our lives.

The only person who is a worse liar than a faith healer is his patient.

I believe the declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.
