Man's Greatness Consists In His Ability To Do And The Proper Application Of His Powers To Things Needed To Be Done.

A Man Without Force, Is Without The Essential Dignity Of Humanity. Human Nature Is So Constituted, That It Cannot Honor A Helpless Man, Although It Can Pity Him.

He Who Would Be Free Must Strike The First Blow.

The Relation Between The White And Colored People Of This Country Is The Great, Paramount, Imperative, And All-commanding Question For This Age And Nation To Solve.

The More Men You Make Free, The More Freedom Is Strengthened, And The More Men You Give An Interest In The Welfare And Safety Of The State, The Greater Is The Security Of The State.
