Our family of states is already large enough to create embarrassment in the Senate, and a republic should not hold dependent provinces or possessions.
Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country" has been the watchword and creed of my public life.
If my life is prolonged I will do all I can to add to the strength and prosperity of the United States, but nothing to extend its limits or to add new dangers by acquisition of foreign territory.
The life of a civilian is in what he says or writes, that of a soldier in what he does.
