No Book In The World Deserves To

So Great Is My Veneration For The Bible That The Earlier My Children Begin To Read It The More Confident Will Be My Hope That They Will Prove Useful Citizens Of Their Country And Respectable Members Of Society. I Have For Many Years Made It A Practice To Read Through The Bible Once Every Year.

Always Vote For Principle, Though You May Vote Alone, And You May Cherish The Sweetest Reflection That Your Vote Is Never Lost.

The Law Given From Sinai Was A Civil And Municipal As Well As A Moral And Religious Code; It Contained Many Statutes . . . Of Universal Application-laws Essential To The Existence Of Men In Society, And Most Of Which Have Been Enacted By Every Nation Which Ever Professed Any Code Of Laws.

Our Constitution Professedly Rests Upon The Good Sense And Attachment Of The People. This Basis, Weak As It May Appear, Has Not Yet Been Found To Fail.

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.
