The Opposite Of Compromise Is Character.

The Life Of The Nation Is Secure Only While The Nation Is Honest, Truthful, And Virtuous.

Interpreted As It Ought To Be Interpreted, The Constitution Is A Glorious Liberty Document. Read Its Preamble, Consider Its Purposes. Is Slavery Among Them? Is It At The Gateway? Or Is It In The Temple? It Is Neither.

We Are Americans, Speaking The Same Language, Adopting The Same Customs, Holding The Same General Opinions... And Shall Rise And Fall With Americans.

I Know No Class Of My Fellowmen, However Just, Enlightened, And Humane, Which Can Be Wisely And Safely Trusted Absolutely With The Liberties Of Any Other Class.

Liberty Is Meaningless Where The Right To Utter One's Thoughts And Opinions Has Ceased To Exist. That, Of All Rights, Is The Dread Of Tyrants. It Is The Right Which They First Of All Strike Down. They Know Its Power. Thrones, Dominions, Principalities, And Powers, Founded In Injustice And Wrong, Are Sure To Tremble, If Men Are Allowed To Reason... Equally Clear Is The Right To Hear. To Suppress Free Speech Is A Double Wrong. It Violates The Rights Of The Hearer As Well As Those Of The Speaker.
