People will be hearing from me 'til the bitter end now.

That of a horse-jockey, a fox-hunter, an orator, or the honest advocate of my country's rights?

• People always - I think were surprised about me connecting with folks in small town Iowa. And the reason I did was - first of all, I had the benefit that at the time nobody expected me to win.

Beware of entering into any manner of treaty with the Enemy; do not delude yourself by listening to him while intending to reject him.
