My drawings at first were made altogether in watercolors, but they wanted softness and a great deal of finish.

The worse my drawings were, the more beautiful did the originals appear.

We got to finish the deal. And how do we do that? By doing the little things correctly.

One of the first things we are going to have to deal with is the override of vetoes.

My first priority is to finish above rather than beneath the ground.

On landing at New York I caught the yellow fever. The kind man who commanded the ship that brought me from France took charge of me and placed me under the care of two Quaker ladies. To their skillful and untiring care I may safely say I owe my life.
