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.

Though the people support the government; the government should not support the people.

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

Unswerving loyalty to duty, constant devotion to truth, and a clear conscience will overcome every discouragement and surely lead the way to usefulness and high achievement.

My greatest trials come through those professing to be near and attached friends, who expect things.
