You Have Only Always To Do What

The Time Is Not Come For Impartial History. If The Truth Were Told Just Now, It Would Not Be Credited.

You See What A Poor Sinner I Am, And How Unworthy To Possess What Was Given Me; For That Reason It Has Been Taken Away.

I Am Now Considered Such A Monster, That I Hesitate To Darken With My Shadow, The Doors Of Those I Love, Lest I Should Bring Upon Them Misfortune.

I Have Fought Against The People Of The North Because I Believed They Were Seeking To Wrest From The South Dearest Rights. But I Have Never Cherished Toward Them Bitter Or Vindictive Feelings. And Have Never Seen The Day When I Did Not Pray For Them.

No Day Should Be Lived Unless It Was Begun With A Prayer Of Thankfulness And An Intercession For Guidance.
