Commerce links all mankind in one common brotherhood of mutual dependence and interests.
James A. GarfieldI love to deal with doctrines and events. The contests of men about men I greatly dislike.
James A. GarfieldA noble life crowned with heroic death, rises above and outlives the pride and pomp and glory of the mightiest empire of the earth.
James A. GarfieldThere are times in the history of men and nations, when they stand so near the vale that separates mortals from the immortals, time from eternity, and men from their God, that they can almost hear the beatings, and feel the pulsations of the heart of the Infinite.
James A. GarfieldMen are tending to materialism. Houses, lands, and worldly goods attract their attention, and as a mirage lure them on to death. Christianity, on the other hand leads only the natural body to death, and for the spirit, it points out a house not built with hands, eternal in the heavens... Let me urge you to follow Him, not as the Nazarene, the Man of Galilee, the carpenter's son, but as the ever living spiritual person, full of love and compassion, who will stand by you in life and death and eternity.
