Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak and that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.
America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.
All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse.
Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.
Facts are stubborn things and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
Patience and perserverence have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.
