John Tyler Quotes

Everything dependent on human action is liable to abuse.

Wealth can only be accumulated by the earnings of industry and the savings of frugality.

If we find ourselves increasing beyond example in numbers, in strength, in wealth, in knowledge, in everything which promotes human and social happiness, let us ever remember our dependence for all these on the protection and merciful dispensations of Divine Providence.

I can never consent to being dictated to.

Popularity, I have always thought, may aptly be compared to a coquette – the more you woo her, the more apt is she to elude your embrace.

Whether I float or sink in the stream of fortune, you may be assured of this, that I shall never cease to love you. (from a love letter to his first wife)

So far as it depends on the course of this government, our relations of good will and friendship will be sedulously cultivated with all nations.

Let it be henceforth proclaimed to the world that man’s conscience was created free; that he is no longer accountable to his fellow man for his religious opinions, being responsible therefore only to his God.
