No President Who Performs His Duties Faithfully

There Is More Selfishness And Less Principle Among Members Of Congress Than I Had Any Conception Of, Before I Became President Of The U.s.

The Gratitude ... Should Be Commensurate With The Boundless Blessings Which We Enjoy.

When I Observed A Strong Man Approaching I Generally Took Advantage Of Him By Being A Little Quicker Than He Was And Seizing Him By The Tip Of The Fingers, Giving Him A Hearty Shake, And Thus Preventing Him From Getting A Full Grip Upon Me.

The Passion For Office Among Members Of Congress Is Very Great, If Not Absolutely Disreputable, And Greatly Embarrasses The Operations Of The Government. They Create Offices By Their Own Votes And Then Seek To Fill Them Themselves.

I Cannot, Whilst President Of The United States, Descend To Enter Into A Newspaper Controversy.
