Oh, do not cry - be good children and we will all meet in heaven.

It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.

After eight years as President I have only two regrets: that I have not shot Henry Clay or hanged John C. Calhoun.

Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.

John Calhoun, if you secede from my nation I will secede your head from the rest of your body.

I was born for a storm and a calm does not suit me.

There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.

Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.

When you get in debt you become a slave.

But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.

All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a mere bubble, except guaranteed to them by an independent and virtuous Judiciary.

You are letting this feeling get cold, I cant blame you, you must know you are free to go... Don't you ever look back... If you wonder why it is because I wont be there.

Out of all the things in life sometimes its the kindness you cant repay that really hurt.

Sometimes it takes losing everything to see the truth in nothing, except love, honor, and death.

It's expectation that differentiates you from the dead.

One of the priorities of a Trump administration will be to immediately start narrowing the legal space that activists have to mobilize.

I did not want to be coming off the stage at the mercy of what somebody else told me I did.

People in their natural state are basically good. But this natural innocence,however, is corrupted by the evils of society.

Nothing will stop me, and whether I'm here or wherever I may be, I'll always have the same feelings, I'll say what I feel.

There's really nothing quite like someone's wanting you dead to make you want to go on living.

Anything that is excellent or praiseworthy stands moment by moment on the cutting edge and must be constantly fought for. Well placed priorities always sit on the edge.
