“The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most.”

Everyone has his superstitions. One of mine has always been when I started to go anywhere, or to do anything, never to turn back or to stop until the thing intended was accomplished.

I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

If men make war in slavish obedience to rules, they will fail.

I know only two tunes: one of them is ‘Yankee Doodle’, and the other isn’t.

I have made it a rule of my life to trust a man long after other people gave him up, but I don’t see how I can ever trust any human being again.

There never was a time when, in my opinion, some way could not be found to prevent the drawing of the sword.

I have nothing to do with opinions. I deal only with armed rebellion and its aiders and abettors.

Labor disgraces no man; unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.

I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.

I would suggest the taxation of all property equally, whether church or corporation, exempting only the last resting place of the dead and possibly, with proper restrictions, church edifices.

Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate.

My failures have been errors in judgment, not of intent.

In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.

I appreciate the fact, and am proud of it, that the attentions I am receiving are intended more for our country than for me personally.

It was my fortune, or misfortune, to be called to the office of Chief Executive without any previous political training.

Declare Church and State forever separate and distinct, but each free within their proper spheres, and that all church property shall bear its own proportion of taxation.

She loves you. Do you even know what to do with that?” I kissed the top of her head. “Cherish it like it’s the most precious thing on the face of the earth.

To truly cherish the things that are important to you, you must first discard those that have outlived their purpose. To throw away what you no longer need is neither wasteful nor shameful.

I understood that pain was real and sometimes things didn’t last. Sometimes you just had to enjoy it while it lasts and cherish it when it’s gone.

Cherish that which is in you and shut out that which is without, for much knowledge is a curse.

Love love and cherish life. Also, just eat the cake.

I saw a lot of people have success handed to them that then exploited it. They didn’t protect it or cherish it.

I cherish the greatest respect towards everybody’s religious obligations, no matter how comical.

The truth is what I cherish and that’s my strength.
