There is no sanctuary of virtue like a home.

Let a nation's fervent thanks make some amends for the toils and sufferings of those who survive.

I am only one but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.

This glorious union shall not perish! Precious legacy of our fathers, it shall go down honored and cherished to our children. Generations unborn shall enjoy its privileges as we have done; and if we leave them poor in all besides, we will transmit to them the boundless wealth of its blessings!

God bless the Union; - it is dearer to us for the blood of brave men which has been shed in its defence.

When every brake hath found its note, and sunshine smiles in every flower.

A great character, founded on the living rock of principle is, in fact, not a solitary phenomenon, to be at once perceived, limited, and described.

It survives the man who possessed it; survives his age,--and perhaps, his country, his language.
