Because the public lands belong to all Americans, this 1872 Mining Act should be repealed.

The ultimate test of a nation's character is not how it responds to adversity in war but how it meets the challenge of peace.

I hereby resign this office of president of the United States.

If you are ever going to lie, you go to jail for the lie rather than the crime. So believe me, don't ever lie.

Life isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.

If I had feelings, I probably wouldn’t have even survived.

I would rather be a one-term President and do what I believe is right than to be a two-term President at the cost of seeing America become a second-race power and to see this Nation accept the first defeat in its proud 190-year history.
