Whatever spiteful fools may say, Each jealous ranting yelper, No woman ever went astray, Without a man to help her

I believe the declaration that ‘all men are created equal’ is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.

What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence? It is not our frowning battlements, our bristling sea coasts, our army and our navy... Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in us. Our defense is in the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism at your own doors... You have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.

Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition.

We know nothing of what will happen in future, but by the analogy of experience.

Whatever уоu are, bе а good one.

I have never had a feeling, politically, that did not spring from the Declaration of Independence that all should have an equal chance. This is the sentiment embodied in the Declaration of Independence, I would rather be assassinated on this spot than surrender it.
