If Men Make War In Slavish Observance

The Will Of The People Is The Best Law.

Let No Guilty Man Escape If It Can Be Avoided. Be Specially Vigilant-or Instruct Those Engaged In The Prosecution Of Fraud To Be-against All Who Insinuate That They Have High Influence To Protect-or To Protect Them. No Personal Consideration Should Stand In The Way Of Performing A Public Duty.

But My Later Experience Has Taught Me Two Lessons: First, That Things Are Seen Plainer After The Events Have Occurred; Second, That The Most Confident Critics Are Generally Those Who Know The Least About The Matter Criticised.

There Never Was A Time When, In My Opinion, Some Way Could Not Be Found To Prevent The Drawing Of The Sword.

Hold Fast To The Bible As The Sheet-anchor Of Your Liberties; Write Its Precepts In Your Hearts, And Practice Them In Your Lives.
