In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude.

I don't care what they call me as long as they mention my name.

I have no other view than to promote the public good, and am unambitious of honors not founded in the approbation of my Country.

When speaking, be clear, be brief and be memorable.

If there's anything a public servant hates to do it's something for the public.

The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones. Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue. [Ecclesiasticus 28:17 --18].
