I Value Peace, And I

The Greatest Good We Can Do Our Country Is To Heal Its Party Divisions And Make Them One People.

I Wish I Was A Despot That I Might Save The Noble, The Beautiful Trees That Are Daily Falling Sacrifice To The Cupidity Of Their Owners, Or The Necessity Of The Poor. The Unnecessary Felling Of A Tree, Perhaps The Growth Of Centuries, Seems To Me A Crime Little Short Of Murder.

Be Polite To All, But Intimate With Few.

My Principle Is To Do Whatever Is Right, And Leave Consequences To Him Who Has The Disposal Of Them.

We Confide In Our Strength, Without Boasting Of It, We Respect That Of Others, Without Fearing It.
