There never was a time when, in my opinion, some way could not be found to prevent the drawing of the sword.

England and the United States are natural allies, and should be the best of friends.

I'm afraid I'm elected.

The long-continued and useful public service and eminent purity of character of the deceased ex-President will be remembered.

Two commanders on the same field are always one too many.

I desire the good-will of all, whether hitherto my friends or not.

I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.
