In a republican land the power behind the throne is the power.

Don’t drag the engine, like an ignoramus, but bring wood and water and flame, like an engineer.

If this is the last bulwark of freedom, we may as well die here as anywhere.

Grudge no expense — yield to no opposition — forget fatigue — till, by the strength of prayer and sacrifice, the spirit of love have overcome.

Slavery can only be abolished by raising the character of the people who compose the nation; and that can be done only by showing them a higher one.
