“I found that my nomination had been as unexpected to him as to myself, and that he had never uttered a word upon which a wish on his part could be presumed, 我将被授予公职. His opinion upon the subject agrees with my own; but his satisfaction at the appointment is much greater than mine.”1794年6月10日
“总的来说，这一年是令人愉快的一年, but for the state of my wife’s health which has been almost continually bad, and concerning which I am even now deeply concerned— The subject preys upon my spirits more than I can express.”第1799天进入

“Whether my appointment was for my own good or for that of my Country is known only to God. As yet I have far more reason to lament than to rejoice at the Event. Yet I feel not the less the obligation of Mr Monroe’s confidence in me, and the duty of personal devotion to the success of his administration which it imposes upon me—”1818年9月20日
“I examined my sons John and Charles, in Greek and Latin, to observe their proficiency. 约翰进步很大. 查尔斯更喜欢读书，但进步缓慢. 在我心中的渴望中, the most deeply anxious is that for the good-conduct and welfare of my children. 我的希望和恐惧深深地交织在其中——”一八一八年九月六日
“To one thing however I had made up my mind— I would take no one step to advance or promote pretensions to the Presidency— If that office was to be the prize of cabal and intrigue, 购买报章, 任用贿赂或为外国使团讨价还价, 我没有买彩票.”一八二一年二月二十五日
“At this Moment standing on the Isthmus between the past and the future, I look back with satisfaction solid and pure at what has been accomplished of public service, 怀着谦卑和遗憾的心情，我们没有做出更多的努力, and with unbounded Gratitude to the disposer of all results— Forward, 前景充满了困难和危险——”1821年三月三日

“I answered I hold the Resolution to be a Violation of the Constitution of the right of petition of my constituents and of the people of the United States, and of my right to freedom of Speech as a member of this House— I said this amidst a perfect war whoop of order.”一八三七年十二月二十一日
