Answer 1

President John Adams most famous quote was that he was a "party of one."  He is our most underrated founding father and he definitely followed his own path and vision.

Also, Abraham Lincoln used to tell funny stories at the opening of his cabinet meetings. Eventually one of his cabinet members basically told him that he needed to stop telling funny stories and get down to busines.  Lincoln told him that if he was not able to laugh then he would cry.  (And this is true when one considers three of his sons died before he reached middle age and that he struggled with depression his entire adult life.)  It was a very nice way of saying to his cabinet that this was the way he does things and that he was not willing to change.  It was non confrontational and did not embarras anyone present.
