The Presidency Is Not A Bed Of

No Union Exists Between Church And State, And Perfect Freedom Of Opinion Is Guaranteed To All Sects And Creeds.

Under The Blessings Of Divine Providence... It Becomes Us, In Humility, To Make Our Devout Acknowledgments To The Supreme Ruler Of The Universe, For The Inestimable Civil And Religious Blessings With Which We Are Favored.

All Distinctions Of Birth Or Of Rank Have Been Abolished. All Citizens, Whether Native Or Adopted, Are Placed Upon Terms Of Precise Equality. All Are Entitled To Equal Rights And Equal Protection.

No President Who Performs His Duties Faithfully And Conscientiously Can Have Any Leisure. If He Entrusts The Details And Smaller Matters To Subordinates Constant Errors Will Occur. I Prefer To Supervise The Whole Operations Of The Government Myself Rather Than Entrust The Public Business To Subordinates, And This Makes My Duties Very Great.

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