Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it
takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without
reservation that he is in error.As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending.Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men and this is the greatest blessing of free governments.Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and its conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.Heaven will be no heaven to me if I do not meet my wife there.I can with truth say mine is a situation (the Presidency) of dignified
slavery.I do not forget that I am a mechanic. I am proud to own it. Neither do I forget that . . . the apostle Paul was a tentmaker; Socrates was a sculptor; and Archimedes was a mechanic.It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.Never take counsel of your fears.No one need think that the world can be ruled without blood. The civil
sword shall and must be red and bloody..One man with courage makes a majority.Our federal Union: it must be preserved.Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go inThat book [Bible], sir, is the rock on which our republic rests.The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would
operate with perfect equality..There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is having lots to
do and not doing it..You are uneasy, . . . you never sailed with me before, I see.You must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessings. |
