I Did Only What My Duty Demanded.

Wisdom Is Nothing More Than Healed Pain.

I Pray That On This Day [christmas] When Only Peace And Good-will Are Preached To Mankind, Better Thoughts May Fill The Hearts Of Our Enemies And Turn Them To Peace.

Keep Steady In The View Of The Great Principles For Which You Contend. The Safety Of Your Homes And The Lives Of All You Hold Dear Depend Upon Your Courage And Exertions. Let Each Man Resolve To Be Victorious, And That The Right Of Self Government, Liberty And Peace Shall Find Him A Defender.

What A Cruel Thing War Is... To Fill Our Hearts With Hatred Instead Of Love For Our Neighbors.

Marry...into A Family That Will Enable Your Children To Feel Proud Of Both Sides Of The House.
