As President, I have no eyes but constitutional eyes; I cannot see you.

I am the President of the United States of America, clothed in immense power! You will procure me these votes.

I freely acknowledge myself the servant of the people, according to the bond of service - the United States Constitution; and that, as such, I am responsible to them.

Avoid popularity if you would have peace.

Great men are ordinary men with extra ordinary determination.

I cannot bring myself to believe that any human being lives who would do me any harm.

I have neither time nor disposition to enter into discussion with the Friend, and end this occasion by suggesting for her consideration the question whether, if it be true that the Lord has appointed me to do the work she has indicated, it is not probable that he would have communicated knowledge of the fact to me as well as to her.
