I Am Heartily Rejoiced That My Term

The Presidency Is Not A Bed Of Roses.

Public Opinion: May It Always Perform One Of Its Appropriate Offices, By Teaching The Public Functionaries Of The State And Of The Federal Government, That Neither Shall Assume The Exercise Of Powers Entrusted By The Constitution To The Other.

With Me It Is Exceptionally True That The Presidency Is No Bed Of Roses.

One Great Object Of The Constitution Was To Restrain Majorities From Oppressing Minorities Or Encroaching Upon Their Just Rights.

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.
