James Buchanan - Whatever the result may be

• "The test of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity,
• but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there"
• "If you arre as happy in entering the White House as I shall feel on
• returning to Wheatland, you are a happy man indeed."
• "Whatever the result may be, I shall carry to my grave the consciousness
• that I at least meant well for my country."
• "Liberty must be allowed to work out its natural results; and these will,
• ere long, astonish the world."
• "What is right and what is practicable are two different things."
