Obstacles May Retard, But They Cannot Long

It Is Our Duty To Keep The Memory Of Our Heroes Green. Yet They Belong To The Whole Country; They Belong To America.

All We Ask Is To Be Let Alone.

Among Our Neighbors Of Central And Southern America, We See The Caucasian Mingled With The Indian And The African. They Have The Forms Of Free Government, Because They Have Copied Them. To Its Benefits They Have Not Attained, Because That Standard Of Civilization Is Above Their Race. Revolution Succeeds Revolution, And The Country Mourns That Some Petty Chief May Triumph, And Through A Sixty Days' Government Ape The Rulers Of The Earth.

Truthfulness Is A Cornerstone In Character, And If It Be Not Firmly Laid In Youth, There Will Ever After Be A Weak Spot In The Foundation.

The Past Is Dead; Let It Bury Its Dead, Its Hopes And Its Aspirations; Before You Lies The Future-a Future Full Of Golden Promise.
