I'm only waiting for my wife to grow up.

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

What do you imagine the American people would think of me if I wasted my time going to the ball game?

I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the General Government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit.

A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.

I would rather the man who presents something for my consideration subject me to a zephyr of truth and a gentle breeze of responsibility rather than blow me down with a curtain of hot wind.

Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote.
