• He de considerar las muchas ventajas que se derivan del uso frecuente de juramentos, maldiciones e imprecaciones. En primer lugar, este hábito gentil es una ayuda maravillosa para el discurso, ya que suple la falta de sentido común, aprendizaje y elocuencia. Los analfabetos y estúpidos, con la ayuda de los juramentos, se convierten en oradores; y aquel, cuyo miserable intelecto no le permitiría pronunciar una frase coherente, mediante esta fácil práctica, excita la risa y fija la atención de un círculo brillante y alegre.

Right now we have citizens who don't even understand what that document is.

• Cuando juré mi cargo para servir como Gobernador, recuerden, juré velar firme y tenazmente por los intereses de este gran estado como un oso pardo con cachorros, como una madre vela naturalmente por los suyos. Alaska, como familia estatal, tenemos que luchar unos por otros, no en contra, y no dejar que las distracciones externas y sensacionalistas nos desvíen del rumbo. Ahora que empieza un año apasionante de cambios impredecibles, nosotros también tenemos mucho trabajo por delante. Y todos estamos juntos en esto. Al igual que nuestros bueyes almizcleros, se agrupan para proteger su futuro cuando se ven amenazados. Nosotros tenemos que hacer lo mismo.
