We shall never be abandoned by Heaven while we act worthy of its aid and protection

We cannot make events. Our business is wisely to improve them. Mankind are governed more by their feeling than by reason. Events which excite those feelings will produce wonderful effects.

Our union is now complete; our constitution composed, established, and approved. You are now the guardians of your own liberties.

All might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they should.

The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance.

Liberty will not long survive the total extinction of morals.

He who made all men hath made the truths necessary to human happiness obvious to all. Our forefathers opened the Bible to all.
