I would rather be beaten, and be a man, than to be elected and be a little puppy dog.
I would rather be politically dead than hypocritically immortalized.
Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!
We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.
You will find me standing up to my rack, as the people's faithful representative, and the public's most obedient, very humble servant.
I have always supported measures and principles and not men.
