Now is the time when men work quietly in the fields and women weep softly in the kitchen; the legislature is in session and no man's property is safe.

Let it be borne on the flag under which we rally in every exigency, that we have one country, one constitution, one destiny.

We are all agents of the same supreme power, the people.

The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.

We are in danger of being overwhelmed with irredeemable paper, mere paper, representing not gold nor silver; no sir, representing nothing but broken promises, bad faith, bankrupt corporations, cheated creditors and a ruined people.

No man not inspired can make a good speech without preparation.

Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint.
