Happy Presidents' Day

 

"Glorious indeed has been our Contest: glorious, if we consider the Prize for which
we have contended, and glorious in its Issue; but in the midst of our Joys, I hope we
 shall not forget that, to divine Providence is to be ascribed the Glory and the Praise."

"The Bible is the best of books and I wish it were in the hands of everyone.
It is indispensable to the safety and permanence of our institutions. A free government
cannot exist without religion and morals, and there can not be morals without religion.
Especially should the Bible be place in the hands of the young. It is the best school
book in the world. I would that all our people be brought up
 under the influence of that holy book."

"Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern
is to be on God's side, for God is always right."

"The real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the hands of a few and
the unscrupulous who represent or control capital.  Hundreds of laws of Congress
and the state legislatures are in the interest of these men and against the interests
of working men.  These need to be exposed and repealed. All laws on corporations,
on taxation, on trusts, wills, descent, and the like, need examination and extensive
change. This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no
 longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations."

"We have the greatest republic in the history of the world and we can keep it
that way, if we remember that the people elect us to do what we think is right
and not what some misguided poll taker or some paid editorial writer tells us to do."
