For the information of young hunters, I will just say, in this place, that whenever a fellow gets bad lost, the way home is just the way he don't think it is. This rule will hit nine times out of ten.
I would rather be politically dead than hypocritically immortalized.
Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!
We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.
You will find me standing up to my rack, as the people's faithful representative, and the public's most obedient, very humble servant.
I have always supported measures and principles and not men.
