Retreat? NO. I propose to attach at daylight and whip them.

I leave comparisons to history, claiming only that I have acted in every instance from a conscientious desire to do what was right, constitutional, within the law, and for the very best interests of the whole people. Failures have been errors of judgment, not of intent.

The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

There are but two parties now: traitors and patriots. And I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter and, I trust, the stronger party.

I would suggest the taxation of all property equally whether church or corporation.

There are but few important events in the affairs of men brought about by their own choice.

I never wanted to get out of a place as much as I did to get out of the presidency.
