We are beginning a new era in our government. I cannot too strongly urge the necessity of a rigid economy and an inflexible determination not to enlarge the income beyond the real necessities of the government.

I've had moments when I've thought about somebody picked up the phone to call them and they are on the line already and I think that maybe there's some vibration some connection.

Always be sincere even if you don't mean it.

If the present Congress errs in too much talking how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers whose trade it is to question everything yield nothing and talk by the hour?

All changes are more or less tinged with melancholy for what we are leaving behind is part of ourselves.
