I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.

While I am deeply sensible to the high compliment of a re-election; and duly grateful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having directed my countrymen to a right conclusion, as I think, for their own good, it adds nothing to my satisfaction that any other man may be disappointed or pained by the result.

Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.

Wanting to work is so rare a merit, that it should be encouraged.

I understand that it is a maxim of law, that a poor plea may be a good plea to a bad declaration.

Anybody will do for you, but not for me.

Rules of living Don't worry, eat three square meals a day,say your prayers, be courteous to your creditors, keep your digestion good,steer clear of biliousness,exercise, go slow and go easy. May be there are other things that your special case requires to make you happy, but my friend, these, i reckon, will give you a good life.
