| "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men." ~ Thomas Jefferson ~ |
"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which perserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these things were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us." ~ Abraham Lincoln ~ |

| "Love America! but love her wisely. Work hard to cure the faults, the mistakes under which she labors. Work to bring her closer to the ideal that is the real America. Do not leave her to be ruled by a few who make it their business and profit to rule. She is yours." ~ Unknown Author ~ |

| The things that will destroy us are: politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity, and worship without sacrifice. ~ Unknown Author ~ |

| "With malice toward none; With charity for all; With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, Let us strive on to finish the work we are in; To bind up the nation's wounds; To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan--- To do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace amont ourselves, and with all nations. ~ Abraham Lincoln ~ |
