Every man that tried to destroy the Government, every man that shot at the holy flag in heaven, every man that starved our soldiers... every man that wanted to burn the negro, every one that wanted to scatter yellow fever in the North, every man that opposed human liberty, that regarded the auction-block as an altar and the howling of the bloodhound as the music of the Union, every man who wept over the corpse of slavery, that thought lashes on the naked back were a legal tender for labour performed, every one willing to rob a mother of her child - every solitary one was a Democrat.

One laugh of a child will make the holiest day more sacred still.

The combined wisdom and genius of all mankind cannot possibly conceive of an argument against liberty of thought.

Sacred are the lips from which has issued only truth.

Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.

The Church has always been willing to swap off treasures in heaven for cash down.

To give up your individuality is to annihilate yourself.
