If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.

Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country, and should dwell together in bonds of fraternal feeling.

We must remember that the people of all the States are entitled to all the privileges and immunities of the citizen of the several States. We should bear this in mind, and act in such a way as to say nothing insulting or irritating. I would inculcate this idea, so that we may not, like Pharisees, set ourselves up to be better than other people.

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.

Nothing in this world is impossible to a willing heart.

Work, work, work, is the main thing.

Those who are ready to sacrifice freedom for security ultimately will lose both.
