It is hard for the old slave holding spirit to die. But die it must.

It is the mind that makes the body.

Truth burns up error.

Let ... individuals make the most of what God has given them, have their neighbors do the same, and then do all they can to serve each other. There is no use in one man, or one nation, to try to do or be everything. It is a good thing to be dependent on each other for something, it makes us civil and peaceable.

Where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter.
