The liberty, prosperity, and the happiness of our country will always be the object of my most fervent prayers to the Supreme Author of All Good.

We must support our rights or lose our character, and with it, perhaps, our liberties.

In a representative republic, the education of our children must be of the utmost importance!

The best form of government is that which is most likely to prevent the greatest sum of evil.

A free, virtuous, and enlightened people must know full well the great principles and causes upon which their happiness depends.

Our country may be likened to a new house. We lack many things, but we possess the most precious of all - liberty!

The emigrants although of different parties and different religious sects all flew from persecution in pursuit of liberty.

There is a price tag on human liberty. That price is the willingness to assume the responsibilities of being free men. Payment of this price is a personal matter with each of us.

It is better to spread trust all around than to hand out money!

The right of self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.

If it was wise, manly, and patriotic for us to establish a free government, it is equally wise to attend to the necessary means of its preservation.

In a stress pressure-cooker like America, I believe we will see more and more shooting massacres. Violence is in our cultural DNA.

I resent when I go out to dinner and they try to sell me the healthy food for the same price as the good food.

I would be the best of us, the highest of the lows.

I was a young man with uninformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything; and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion of them.

The size of the halls doesn't matter to me too much

Advanced Teachers always forgive. It is inevitable that anyone who seek knowledge and power will make many mistakes.

Animals know nothing of themselves, and they also know nothing of the world.

A loss never bothers me after I take it. I forget it overnight. But being wrong - not taking the loss - that is what does damage to the pocketbook and to the soul.

Let us teach the young in the school of the fear of the Lord.

Nothing gained without cost is valued. Freedom has a cost, and all will bear it so all will value and preserve it.
