I Have Tried So Hard To Do

I Have Tried So Hard To Do The Right.

I Cannot Help But Think It Perilous To Suffer These Lands Or The Sources Of Their Irrigation To Fall Into The Hands Of Monopolies, Which By Such Means May Exercise Lordship Over The Areas Dependent On Their Treatment For Productiveness.

It Is No Credit To Me To Do Right. I Am Never Under Any Temptation To Do Wrong!

No Man Has Ever Yet Been Hanged For Breaking The Spirit Of A Law.

Men And Times Change-but Principles-never.
