Remember, We Are All One Country Now.

We Must Forgive Our Enemies.

We Must Expect Reverses, Even Defeats. They Are Sent To Teach Us Wisdom And Prudence, To Call Forth Greater Energies, And To Prevent Our Falling Into Greater Disasters.

My Experiences Of Men Has Neither Disposed Me To Think Worse Of Them Nor Be Indisposed To Serve Them: Nor, In Spite Of Failures Which I Lament, Of Errors Which I Now See And Acknowledge, Or The Present Aspect Of Affairs, Do I Despair Of The Future. The Truth Is This: The March Of Providence Is So Slow And Our Desires So Impatient; The Work Of Progress So Immense And Our Means Of Aiding It So Feeble; The Life Of Humanity Is So Long, That Of The Individual So Brief, That We Often See Only The Ebb Of The Advancing Wave And Are Thus Discouraged. It Is History That Teaches Us To Hope.

I Cannot Trust A Man To Control Others Who Cannot Control Himself.

Traveler Is My Only Companion; I May Also Say My Pleasure. He And I, Whenever Practicable, Wander Out In The Mountains And Enjoy Sweet Confidence.
