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

They have formed their own 4-H club - the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history.

I ask that all Americans demonstrate in their personal and public lives...the high ethical standards that are essential to good character and to the continued success of our nation.

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

America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.

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.
