#1-12 During the First Continental Congress, I restrained myself. Since I rubbed many people the wrong way, I worried that the other delegates might pull back if I pushed for independence from Great Britain too vigorously. But by the Second Congress, events had moved forward so quickly that I couldn’t hold back my passion any longer. Normally a limited public speaker, I became so aroused that I lost all self-consciousness.

#13-24 When I was in my early twenties, I paid for my education by giving weekly sermons at local churches at a dollar apiece. That skill helped me when I entered politics after the Civil War and became one of the great stump speakers of my generation. During my seventeen years in Congress, I became famous for my addresses on the floor of the House.

#25-34 My health began to decline in my third year in the White House. My schedule called for a trip to the West Coast that included a visit to Alaska. My doctor approved the trip provided I got some rest along the way. Instead, I agreed to a tiring schedule of cross-country speeches.
