He has got the slows, Mr. Blair.

I have got you together to hear what I have written down. I do not wish your advice about the main matterfor that I have determined for myself.

What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence?

Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others.

And then, there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue, and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised bayonnet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation.

Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

It is not 'Is God on my side', but 'Am I on God's side'.
