All I have learned, I learned from books.

In regards to this great Book [the Bible], I have but to say it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this Book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are found portrayed in it.

If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

Such will be a great lesson of peace: teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take it by war.

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.

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

If elected I shall be thankful; if not, it will be all the same.
