Never make a speech at a country dance or a football game.

Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.

If we are to live together in peace, we must come to know each other better.

What we won when all of our people united just must not now be lost in suspicion, distrust, selfishness, and politics among any of our people. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.

A perpetual conflict with natural desires seems to be the lot of our present state. In youth we require something of the tardiness and frigidity of age; and in age we must labour to recall the fire and impetuosity of youth; in youth we must learn to respect, and in age to enjoy.

Whoever won't fight when the President calls him, deserves to be kicked back in his hole and kept there.

Throughout my entire public career I have followed the personal philosophy that I am a free man, an American, a public servant, and a member of my party, in that order always and only.
