I return with feelings of misgiving from my third war-I was the first American commander to put his signature to a paper ending a war when we did not win it.

There is a story of an Oxford student who once remarked, "I despise all Americans, but have never met one I didn't like";

We [Americans] are the lavishest and showiest and most luxury-loving people on the earth; and at our masthead we fly one true and honest symbol, the gaudiest flag the world has ever seen.

Very little is known about the War of 1812 because the Americans lost it.

I think it's outstanding and I'm ecstatic they invited me,

Somebody gets into September with fifty, they have a shot down the stretch to either tie, break or get close to the record.
