Perhaps The Happiest Moment Of My Life

Strikes And Boycotting Are Akin To War, And Can Be Justified Only On Grounds Analogous To Those Which Justify War, Viz., Intolerable Injustice And Oppression.

My Policy Is Trust Peace And To Put Aside The Bayonet.

How Strange A Scene Is This In Which We Are Such Shifting Figures, Pictures, Shadows. The Mystery Of Our Existence--i Have No Faith In Any Attempted Explanation Of It. It Is All A Dark, Unfathomed Profound.

We All Agree That Neither The Government Nor Political Parties Ought To Interfere With Religious Sects. It Is Equally True That Religious Sects Ought Not To Interfere With The Government Or With Political Parties. We Believe That The Cause Of Good Government And The Cause Of Religion Both Suffer By All Such Interference.

I Too Mean To Be Out Of Politics. The Ratification Of The Fifteenth Amendment Gives Me The Boon Of Equality Before The Law, Terminates My Enlistment, And Discharges Me Cured.
