Whatever God requires is right, no matter what it is, although we may not see the reason there of until all of the events transpire.

Whatever principle of intelligence we attain in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.

It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound.

May those principles, which were so honorably and nobly defended, namely, the Constitution of our land, by our fathers, be established forever.

Perhaps I am meant to swim in deep waters.... better deep than shallow!

Although I do wrong, I do not the wrongs that I am charged with doing; the wrong that I do is through the frailty of human nature, like other men. No man lives without fault.
