Every man is born an original, but sadly, most men die copies.

When the hour comes for dealing with slavery, I trust I will be willing to do my duty though it cost my life.

With this honor devolves upon you also a corresponding responsibility. As the country herein trusts you, so under God it will sustain you.

It doesn't mater if you're a slow walker, so long as you don't walk backwards.

I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves, it should be first those who desire for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor, or as nearly as possible, is a worthy object of any good government.

Faith is not believing that God can, but that God will.
