The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine, and a book of morals, and a book of religion, of especial revelation from God.

The law: it has honored us; may we honor it.

Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from...the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence.

How little do they see what really is, who frame their hasty judgment upon that which seems.

Keep cool; anger is not an argument.

A representative form of government rests nor more on political contributions than on those laws which regulate the descent and transmission of property.

If we cherish the virtues and the principles of our fathers, Heaven will assist us to carry on the work of human liberty and human happiness. Auspicious omens cheer us. Great examples are before us. Our own firmament now shines brightly upon our path.
