Behold A Republic Standing Erect While Empires

Our Government, Conceived In Liberty And Purchased With Blood, Can Be Preserved Only By Constant Vigilance. May We Guard It As Our Children's Richest Legacy, For What Shall It Profit Our Nation If It Shall Gain The Whole World And Lose “the Spirit That Prizes Liberty As The Heritage Of All Men In All Lands Everywhere”?

Next To The Ministry I Know Of No More Noble Profession Than The Law. The Object Aimed At Is Justice, Equal And Exact, And If It Does Not Reach That End At Once It Is Because The Stream Is Diverted By Selfishness Or Checked By Ignorance. Its Principles Ennoble And Its Practice Elevates.

Greed Is At The Bottom Of Most Of The Wrong-doing With Which Government Has To Deal.

The Parents Have A Right To Say That No Teacher Paid By Their Money Shall Rob Their Children Of Faith In God And Send Them Back To Their Homes Skeptical, Or Infidels, Or Agnostics, Or Atheists.

My Place In History Will Depend On What I Can Do For The People And Not On What The People Can Do For Me.
