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

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

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

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.

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

I am the last President of the United States!

Our union rests upon public opinion, and can never be cemented by the blood of its citizens shed in civil war.
