If God Almighty can forgive us who are we to hold on to what He has not only forgiven but forgotten

That being so, we should fail in our duty if we wrote anything with a view to hurt.

Man's reaction to this Divine Presence will be the test: either it will call out all the opposition of egotistic natures, or else galvanize them into a regeneration and a resurrection.

May the whisper of love grow louder than the thunder of violence. May we love loudly.

Conrad HiltonIf an angel should be winged from Heaven, on an errand of mercy to our country, the first accents that would glow on his lips would be, Beware! Be cautious! You have everything to lose; nothing to gain. We live under the only government that ever existed which was framed by the unrestrained and deliberate consultations of the people.
