There Is More Selfishness And Less Principle

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 Constitution Itself, Plainly Written As It Is, The Safeguard Of Our Federative Compact, The Offspring Of Concession And Compromise, Binding Together In The Bonds Of Peace And Union This Great And Increasing Family Of Free And Independent States, Will Be The Chart By Which I Shall Be Directed.

Minorities Have A Right To Appeal To The Constitution As A Shield Against Such Oppression.

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

The Presidency Is Not A Bed Of Roses.
