3 quotes

Inconsistencies of opinion, arising from changes of circumstances, are often justifiable.

His high-erected thoughts look'd down upon
The smiling valley of his fruitful heart.

A Monumental Column; Reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)

Address on Laying the Cornerstone of the Bunker Hill Monument (1825)
