There is nothing stable but Heaven and the Constitution.

I have gone wooing to several gentlemen, but have not succeeded with any of them.

If you are as happy, my dear sir, on entering this house as I am in leaving it and returning home, you are the happiest man in this country.

The storm of frenzy and faction must inevitably dash itself in vain against the unshaken rock of the Constitution.

To avoid entangling alliances has been a maxim of our policy ever since the days of Washington, and its wisdom no one will attempt to dispute.

Whatever the result may be, I shall carry to my grave the consciousness that I at least meant well for my country.

If you are as happy in entering the White House as I shall feel on returning to Wheatland, you are a happy man indeed.
