Were it not for my little jokes, I could not bear the burdens of this office.

In times like these men should utter nothing for which they would not be willingly responsible through time and in eternity.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is why he made so many of them.
