I contend that the strongest of all governments is that which is most free.

It was hard graft all the way and a good result in the end.

The institutions under which we live, my countrymen, secure each person in the perfect enjoyment of all his rights.

I can never consent to being dictated to.

There will be found to exist at all times an imperious necessity for restraining all the functionaries of the Government within the range of their respective powers thereby preserving a just balance between the powers granted to this Government and those reserved to the States and to the people.

The United States have adventured upon a great and noble experiment, which is believed to have been hazarded in the absence of all previous precedent - that of total separation of Church and State. No religious establishment by law exists among us. The conscience is left free from all restraint and each is permitted to worship his Maker after his own judgement.

So far as it depends on the course of this government, our relations of good will and friendship will be sedulously cultivated with all nations.
