The famous one:

I had rather be right than be President.

-to Senator Preston of South Carolina, 1839


The arts of power and its minions are the same in all countries and in all ages. It marks a victim; denounces it; and excites the public odium and the public hatred, to conceal its own abuses and encroachments.

-speech in the Senate, March 14, 1834
