It is an old and a true maxim "that a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall." So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what you will, is the great high-road to his reason.
(Abraham Lincoln address at Washingtonian Temperance Society, 1842)

My Friends, No one not in my situation can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man.

In all disputes it is our interest not less than our duty to remain strictly neutral.
(Zachary Taylor, Inaugural Address, 1849, adapted)
