You Don't Govern Men Who Don't Have

The Keys Of A Fortress Are Always Well Worth The Retirement Of The Garrison When It Is Resolved To Yield Only On Those Conditions. On This Principle It Is Always Wiser To Grant An Honorable Capitulation To A Garrison Which Has Made A Vigorous Resistance Than To Risk An Assault.

This Accession Of Territory Affirms Forever The Power Of The United States, And I Have Given England A Maritime Rival Who Sooner Or Later Will Humble Her Pride.

A Form Of Government That Is Not The Result Of A Long Sequence Of Shared Experiences, Efforts, And Endeavors Can Never Take Root.

An Empty Throne Always Tempts Me.

Do You Know What Is More Hard To Bear Than The Reverses Of Fortune? It Is The Baseness, The Hideous Ingratitude, Of Man.
