No Book In The World

America Does Not Go Abroad In Search Of Monsters To Destroy.

My Custom Is To Read Four Or Five Chapters Of The Bible Every Morning Immediately After Rising. It Seems To Me The Most Suitable Manner Of Beginning The Day. It Is An Invaluable And Inexhaustible Mine Of Knowledge And Virtue.

I Appear, My Fellow-citizens, In Your Presence And In That Of Heaven To Bind Myself By The Solemnities Of Religious Obligation To The Faithful Performance Of The Duties Allotted To Me In The Station To Which I Have Been Called.

I Want The Seals Of Power And Place, The Ensigns Of Command, Charged By The People's Unbought Grace, To Rule My Native Land. Nor Crown, Nor Scepter Would I Ask But From My Country's Will, By Day, By Night, To Ply The Task Her Cup Of Bliss To Fill.

This Is The Last Of Earth! I Am Content.
