If we only had some God in the country's laws, instead of being in such a sweat to get him into the Constitution, it would be better all around.

Our inner strengths, experiences, and truths cannot be lost, destroyed, or taken away. Every person has an inborn worth and can contribute to the human community. We all can treat one another with dignity and respect, provide opportunities to grow toward our fullest lives and help one another discover and develop our unique gifts. We each deserve this and we all can extend it to others.

In religion and politics, people's belief's and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second hand, and without examination

Every citizen of the republic ought to consider himself an unofficial policeman, and keep unsalaried watch and ward over the laws and their execution.

Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions....there was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.

Use the right word, not its second cousin.
