If the American people could learn what I know of the fierce hatred of the priests of Rome against our institutions, our schools, our most sacred rights, and our so dearly bought liberties, they would drive them out as traitors.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.

If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.

Now, at the end of three years struggle the nation's condition is not what either party, or any man devised, or expected. God alone can claim it.

In the early days of the world, the Almighty said to the first of our race "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread"; and since then, if we except the light and the air of heaven, no good thing has been, or can be enjoyed by us, without having first cost labour.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

Every man has a right to be equal with every other man.
