A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday does not know where it is today.

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

The dominant party cannot reign forever, and truth and justice will prevail at last.

A man may manifest and communicate his joy, but he should conceal and smother his grief as much as possible.

We must...submit ourselves in adversity to the will of a merciful God as cheerfully as in prosperity.

You see what a poor sinner I am, and how unworthy to possess what was given me; for that reason it has been taken away.

We must forgive our enemies.
