I humble myself before God, and there the list ends.

I would give no thought of what the world might say of me, if I could only transmit to posterity the reputation of an honest man.

I have ever been opposed to banks, - opposed to internal improvements by the general government, - opposed to distribution of public lands among the states, - opposed to taking the power from the hands of the people, - opposed to special monopolies, - opposed to a protective tariff, - opposed to a latitudinal construction of the constitution, - opposed to slavery agitation and disunion. This is my democracy. Point to a single act of my public career not in keeping with these principles.

The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government.

Remember that whatever may be said by a lady or her friends, it is not part of conduct of a gallant or generous man to take up arms against a woman.

Do right and risk the consequences.
