Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.

Liberty cannot live apart from constitutional

A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.

There is such a thing as man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.

America is the place where you cannot kill your government by killing the men who conduct it.

Things get very lonely in Washington sometimes. The real voice of the great people of America sometimes sounds faint and distant in that strange city. You hear politics until you wish that both parties were smothered in their own gas.

No task, rightly done, is truly private. It is part of the world s work.
