If I lose my life in a good cause I am willing to be sacrificed on the altar of virtue, righteousness and truth, in maintaining the laws and Constitution of the United States, if need be, for the general good of mankind.

Hence we say, that the Constitution of the United States is a glorious standard; it is founded in the wisdom of God. It is a heavenly banner; it is to all those who are privileged with the sweets of liberty, like the cooling shades and refreshing waters of a great rock in a thirsty and weary land. It is like a great tree under whose branches men from every clime can be shielded from the burning rays of the sun.

We have not enjoyed unmolested those rights which the constitution of the U.S.A. and our Charters grant.

Every man who has a calling to minister to the inhabitants of the world was ordained to that very purpose in the Grand Council of heaven before this world was. I suppose I was ordained to this very office in that Grand Council.

Could you gaze into heaven five minutes, you would know more than you would by reading all that ever was written on the subject.

Rumor with her ten thousand tongues is diffusing her uncertain sounds in almost every ear.

We cannot be saved until we have risen above all our enemies, not the least of which is ignorance.
