Let it be henceforth proclaimed to the world that man's
conscience was created free; that he is no longer
accountable to his fellow man for his religious opinions,
being responsible therefore only to his God

Death Of The President
In 1840 I was called from my farm to undertake the
administration of public affairs and I foresaw that I
was called to a bed of thorns. I now leave that bed
which has afforded me little rest,
and eagerly seek repose in the quiet enjoyments
of rural life."
(Explaining why he would not run for reelection.)

Encouragement
If the tide of defamation and abuse shall turn, and my
administration come to be praised, future
Vice-Presidents who may succeed to the Presidency
may feel some slight encouragement to pursue an
independent course.

Mr. Clay
Go you now then, Mr. Clay, to your end of the avenue,
where stands the Capitol, and there perform your duty to
the country as you shall think proper. So help me God, I
shall do mine at this end of it as I shall think proper.

Popularity
Popularity, I have always thought, may aptly be compared
to a coquette - the more you woo her, the more apt is she
to elude your embrace

sedulously cultivated with all nations.
