| Davy Crockett
Be always sure your are right, then go ahead.Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it! Heaven knows that I have done all that a mortal could do, to save the people, and the failure was not my fault, but the fault of others. I have suffered my self to be politically sacrificed to save my country from ruin and disgrace and if I am never a gain elected I will have the gratification to know that I have done my duty. I would rather be beaton and be a man than to be elected and be a little puppy dog. It was expected of me that I was to bow to the name of Andrew Jackson... even at the expense of my conscience and judgement. such a thing was new to me, and a total stranger to my principles. Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have.Since you have chosen to elect a man with a timber toe to succeed me, you may all go to hell and I will go to Texas. We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money. |
