It Is Glorious To See

Act With A Determination Not To Be Turned Aside By Thoughts Of The Past And Fears Of The Future.

What A Beautiful World God, In His Loving Kindness To His Creatures, Has Given Us! What A Shame That Men Endowed With Reason And Knowledge Of Right Should Mar His Gifts.

It Is Good That War Is So Horrible, Or We Might Grow To Like It.

They Do Not Know What They Say. If It Came To A Conflict Of Arms, The War Will Last At Least Four Years. Northern Politicians Will Not Appreciate The Determination And Pluck Of The South, And Southern Politicians Do Not Appreciate The Numbers, Resources, And Patient Perseverance Of The North. Both Sides Forget That We Are All Americans. I Foresee That Our Country Will Pass Through A Terrible Ordeal, A Necessary Expiation, Perhaps, For Our National Sins.

Live In The World You Inhabit. Look Upon Things As They Are. Take Them As You Find Them. Make The Best Of Them. Turn Them To Your Advantage.
