I Am Sworn To Uphold The Constitution

Honest Conviction Is My Courage; The Constitution Is My Guide.

There Are No Good Laws But Such As Repeal Other Laws.

The Homestead Policy Was Established Only After Long And Earnest Resistance; Experience Proves Its Wisdom. The Lands In The Hands Of Industrious Settlers, Whose Labor Creates Wealth And Contributes To The Public Resources, Are Worth More To The United States Than If They Had Been Reserved As A Solitude For Future Purchasers.

Tyranny And Despotism Can Be Exercised By Many, More Rigorously, More Vigorously, And More Severely, Than By One.

When I Die, I Desire No Better Winding Sheet Than The Stars And Stripes, And No Softer Pillow Than The Constitution Of My Country.
