In the scheme of our national government, the presidency is preeminently the people's office.

Being president means leaving one's name in the history book of which few men are authors. It is my fortune to be blessed with a proud name, one that parents will employ for generations to instill the values of honesty, independence, and above all, courage in their sons.

I have tried so hard to do the right.

Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, exercises a public trust.

It is better to be defeated standing for a high principle than to run by committing subterfuge.

We will not forget that Liberty has made her home here, nor shall her chosen altar be neglected...A stream of light shall pierce the darkness of ignorance and mans oppression until Liberty enlightens the world.

Officeholders are the agents of the people, not their masters.
