The ballot box is the surest arbiter of disputes among free men.
Whatever the result may be, I shall carry to my grave the consciousness that I at least meant well for my country.
There is nothing stable but Heaven and the Constitution.
All the friends that I loved and wanted to reward are dead, and all the enemies that I hated and I had marked out for punishment are turned to my friends.
I like the noise of democracy.
Liberty must be allowed to work out its natural results; and these will, ere long, astonish the world.
