I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy. The turkey is a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America.

Mine is better than ours.

Old boys have their playthings as well as young ones; the difference is only in the price.

Venison and venery defeated me.

I believe there is one Supreme most perfect being.
