If You Want To Be An Orator,

Peace, If Possible, But Justice At Any Rate.

We Measure Genius By Quality, Not By Quantity.

Revolutions Are Not Made: They Come. A Revolution Is As Natural A Growth As An Oak. It Comes Out Of The Past. Its Foundations Are Laid Far Back.

Politics Is But The Common Pulse-beat, Of Which Revolution Is The Fever-spasm.

Eternal Vigilance Is The Price Of Liberty; Power Is Ever Stealing From The Many To The Few. The Manna Of Popular Liberty Must Be Gathered Each Day Or It Is Rotten. The Living Sap Of Today Outgrows The Dead Rind Of Yesterday. The Hand Entrusted With Power Becomes, Either Form Human Depravity Or Esprit De Corps, The Necessary Enemy Of The People. Only By Continued Oversight Can The Democrat In Office Be Prevented From Hardening Into A Despot; Only By Unintermitted Agitation Can A People Be Sufficiently Awake To Principle Not To Let Liberty Be Smothered In Material Prosperity.
