 I am president now, and tired of being kicked around.

 I do not believe in the divinity of Christ, and there are many other of the postulates of the orthodox creed to which I cannot subscribe

 I don't remember that I ever was President.

 I feel certain that he would not recognize a generous impulse if he met it on the street.

 I hate to use the patronage as a club unless I have to.

 I have come to the conclusion that the major part of the work of a President is to increase the gate receipts of expositions and fairs and bring tourists to town.

 I love judges, and I love courts. They are my ideals, that typify on earth what we shall meet hereafter in heaven under a just God.

 I think I might as well give up being a candidate. There are so many people in the country who don't like me.

 I'll be damned if I am not getting tired of this. It seems to be the profession of a President simply to hear other people talk.

 If this humor be the safety of our race, then it is due largely to the infusion into the American people of the Irish brain.

 In the public interest, therefore, it is better that we lose the services of the exceptions who are good Judges after they are seventy and avoid the presence on the Bench of men who are not able to keep up with the work, or to perform it satisfactorily.

 It is important, of course, that controversies be settled right, but there are many civil questions which arise between individuals in which it is not so important the controversy be settled one way or another as that it be settled. Of course a settlement of a controversy on a fundamentally wrong principle of law is greatly to be deplored, but there must of necessity be many rules governing the relations between members of the same society that are more important in that their establishment creates a known rule of action than that they proceed on one principle or another. Delay works always for the man with the longest purse.

 Next to the right of liberty, the right of property is the most important individual right guaranteed by the Constitution and the one which, united with that of personal liberty, has contributed more to the growth of civilization than any other institution established by the human race.

 No tendency is quite so strong in human nature as the desire to lay down rules of conduct for other people.
