The Declaration That Our People Are Hostile

The Political System Of The United States Is Essentially Extra-european. To Stand In Firm And Cautious Independence Of All Entanglement In The European System Has Been A Cardinal Point Of Their Policy Under Every Administration Of Their Government From The Peace Of 1783 To This Day...every Year's Experience Rivets It More Deeply In The Principles And Opinions Of The Nation.

I Inhabit A Weak, Frail, Decayed Tenement; Battered By The Winds And Broken In On By The Storms, And, From All I Can Learn, The Landlord Does Not Intend To Repair.

I Would Much Rather Be Found Guilty Of Making A Serious Mistake In Judgment, Than To Be Accused Of Being Even A Little Bit Insincere.

This Mode Of Electioneering Suited Neither My Taste Nor My Principles. I Thought It Equally Unsuitable To My Personal Character And To The Station In Which I Am Placed.

Life Is A Problem; Mortal Man Was Made To Solve The Solemn Problem Right Or Wrong.
