I guess they don't think much about the country; it's jest to have their own way about it.

I'd like to know what mortal difference it's goin' to make to Barney Thayer or Cephas Barnard which man is President?
He won't never hear of them, an' they won't neither of them make him rule any different after he's chose.

It's jest like two little boys--one wants to play marbles 'cause the other wants to play puss-in-the-corner, an' that's all the reason either one of 'em's got for standin' out.

Men ain't got any too much sense anyhow, when you come right down to it.

They don't ever get any too much grown up, the best of 'em.
