A Land Without Memories Is A People

Shake Off Those Gloomy Feelings. Drive Them Away. Fix Your Mind And Pleasures Upon What Is Before You.all Is Bright If You Will Think It So. All Is Happy If You Will Make It So. Do Not Dream. It Is Too Ideal, Too Imaginary. Dreaming By Day, I Mean. 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.

I Can Only Say That I Am Nothing But A Poor Sinner, Trusting In Christ Alone For Salvation.

For I Consider The Character Of No Man Affected By A Want Of Success, Provided He Has Made An Honest Effort To Succeed.

Keep Steady In The View Of The Great Principles For Which You Contend. The Safety Of Your Homes And The Lives Of All You Hold Dear Depend Upon Your Courage And Exertions. Let Each Man Resolve To Be Victorious, And That The Right Of Self Government, Liberty And Peace Shall Find Him A Defender.

We Must...submit Ourselves In Adversity To The Will Of A Merciful God As Cheerfully As In Prosperity.
