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.
From Andrew Jackson
There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.
To the victors belong the spoils.
I've got big shoes to fill. This is my chance to do something. I have to seize the moment.
Money is power, and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.
I would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.
