I endeavored to give thanks to our Heavenly Father for all his mercies to me, for his preservation of me through all the dangers I have passed, and all the blessings which he has bestowed upon me, for I know I fall far short of my obligations

What a cruel thing war is... to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors.

If we do not do this our churches will lighthouses without light, wells without water, dumb witnesses, sleeping watchmen, silent trumpets, messengers without tidings, a comfort for infidels, jubilant joys to the devil, and an offense to God.

Every student must be a gentleman.

No day should be lived unless it was begun with a prayer of thankfulness and an intercession for guidance.

Remember, we are all one country now. Dismiss from your mind all sectional feeling, and bring them up to be Americans.

It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it.
