I appreciate the fact, and am proud of it, that the attentions I am receiving are intended more for our country than for me personally.

The United States, knowing no distinction of her own citizens on account of religion or nationality, naturally believes in a civilization the world over which will secure the same universal laws.

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

In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.

There is nothing more I should do to it now, and therefore I am not likely to be more ready to go than at this moment.

Let no guilty man escape if it can be avoided. Be specially vigilant-or instruct those engaged in the prosecution of fraud to be-against all who insinuate that they have high influence to protect-or to protect them. No personal consideration should stand in the way of performing a public duty.

I don't underrate the value of military knowledge, but if men make war in slavish obedience to rules, they will fail.
