* Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!
* The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered... deeply, ...finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.
* Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.
* There is no restraining men's tongues or pens when charged with a little vanity.
* It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
* Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow grow, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
* I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.
* It is well, I die hard, but I am not afraid to go.
