You can go to hell -- I'm going to Texas.

Throughout the day no time for memorandums now. Go ahead! Liberty and independence forever.

Remember these words when I am dead. First be sure you're right, then go ahead.

I have suffered my self to be politically sacrificed to save my country from ruin and disgrace and if I am never a gain elected I will have the gratification to know that I have done my duty.

It was expected of me that I was to bow to the name of Andrew Jackson... even at the expense of my conscience and judgement. such a thing was new to me, and a total stranger to my principles.

It is quite possible that someone is insane and they think they have a chance. Not insane in the clinical sense, but they may have such a strong political ambition that they blind themselves to reality.

You can all go to heck; I will go to Texas
