The Great Object Is That Every Man

I Am Not A Virginian, I Am An American.

Righteousness Alone Can Exalt Them [america] As A Nation. Reader! Whoever Thou Art, Remember This, And In Thy Sphere Practice Virtue Thyself And Encourage It In Others.

For My Part, Whatever Anguish Of Spirit It May Cost, I Am Willing To Know The Whole Truth; To Know The Worst And Provide For It.

Should I Keep Back My Opinions At Such A Time, Through Fear Of Giving Offense, I Should Consider Myself As Guilty Of Treason Towards My Country, And Of An Act Of Disloyalty Toward The Majesty Of Heaven, Which I Revere Above All Earthly Kings.

The Great Object Is That Every Man Be Armed.
