In the history of man it has been very generally the case that when evils have grown insufferable they have touched the point of cure.

Glorify a lie, legalize a lie, arm and equip a lie, consecrate a lie with solemn forms and awful penalties, and after all it is nothing but a lie.

It is as bad to clip conscience as to clip coin; it is as bad to give a counterfeit statement as a counterfeit bill.

Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
