Men often mistake notoriety for fame, and would rather be remarked for their vices and follies than not be noticed at all!

Andrew Johnson wasn't too bad, but he was overwhelmed by a hostile Congress.

Brave men don't belong to any one country. I respect bravery wherever I see it.

Peace is precious to us. It is the way of life we strive for with all the strength and wisdom we possess. But more precious than peace are freedom and justice. We will fight, if fight we must, to keep our freedom and to prevent justice from being destroyed.

Of course, there are dangers in religious freedom and freedom of opinion. But to deny these rights is worse than dangerous, it is absolutely fatal to liberty. The external threat to liberty should not drive us into suppressing liberty at home. Those who want the government to regulate matters of the mind and spirit are like men who are so afraid of being murdered that they commit suicide to avoid assassination.

I like riding a bicycle built for two--by myself.

There's nothing better than cake but more cake.
