change men nations
Although our great man at the head of the nation, has changed his course, I will not change mine.
honesty book men
I gave my decisions on the principles of common justice and honesty between man and man, and relied on natural born sense, and not on law, learning to guide me; for I had never read a page in a law book in all my life.
dog men littles
I would rather be beaten, and be a man, than to be elected and be a little puppy dog.
country men bills
If one man in the country could take all the money, what was the use of passing any bills about it?
horse real men
If I could rest anywhere, it would be in Arkansas, where the men are of the real half-horse, half-alligator breed such as grows nowhere else on the face of the universal earth.
eye men world
I know not whether, in the eyes of the world, a brilliant death is not preferred to an obscure life of rectitude. Most men are remembered as they died, and not as they lived. We gaze with admiration upon the glories of the setting sun, yet scarcely bestow a passing glance upon its noonday splendor.
men principles
I have always supported measures and principles and not men.
struggle flirting justice
Most of authors seek fame, but I seek for justice - a holier impulse than ever entered into the ambitious struggles of the votaries of that fickle, flirting goddess.
fall farewell land
Farewell to ye all! In the land of the stranger I rise or I fall.
country dog honesty
I know nothing, by experience, of party discipline. I would rather be a raccoon-dog, and belong to a Negro in the forest, than to belong to any party, further than to do justice to all, and to promote the interests of my country. The time will and must come, when honesty will receive its reward, and when the people of this nation will be brought to a sense of their duty, and will pause and reflect how much it cost us to redeem ourselves from the government of one man.
strong ambition reality
It is quite possible that someone is insane and they think they have a chance. Not insane in the clinical sense, but they may have such a strong political ambition that they blind themselves to reality.
party fall gourds
The party in power, like Jonah's gourd, grew up quickly, and will quickly fall.
strong fighting texas
I also told them of the manner in which I had been knocked down and dragged out, and that I didn't consider it a fair fight any how they could fix it. I put the ingredients in the cup pretty strong I tell you, and I concluded my speech by telling them that I was done with politics for the present, and they might all go to hell, and I would go to Texas.
forever independence liberty
Throughout the day no time for memorandums now. Go ahead! Liberty and independence forever.
