Westward The Star Of Empire

The Firmest Security Of Peace Is The Preparation During Peace Of The Defenses Of War.

Westward The Star Of Empire Takes Its Way.

A Stout Heart, A Clear Conscience, And Never Despair.

Among The Sentiments Of Most Powerful Operation Upon The Human Heart, And Most Highly Honorable To The Human Character, Are Those Of Veneration For Our Forefathers And Of Love For Our Posterity.

The Conflict Between The Principle Of Liberty And The Fact Of Slavery Is Coming Gradually To An Issue. Slavery Has Now The Power, And Falls Into Convulsions At The Approach Of Freedom. That The Fall Of Slavery Is Predetermined In The Counsels Of Omnipotence I Cannot Doubt; It Is A Part Of The Great Moral Improvement In The Condition Of Man, Attested By All The Records Of History. But The Conflict Will Be Terrible, And The Progress Of Improvement Perhaps Retrograde Before Its Final Progress To Consummation.
