I believe this Government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.

I have an irrepressible desire to live till I can be assured that the world is a little better for my having lived in it.

I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

Our common country is in great peril, demanding the loftiest views, and boldest action to bring it speedy relief.

I'm a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down.

No man ever got lost on a straight road.

I am for . . . each individual doing just as he chooses in all matters which concern nobody else.
