Being elected to Congress, though I am very grateful to our friends for having done it, has not pleased me as much as I expected.

I don't know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.

I am rather inclined to silence.

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

I am really blessed and very grateful for it.

I am humble Abraham Lincoln. I have been solicited by my friends to become a candidate for the Legislature. My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman's dance.
