Education Is A Better Safeguard Of Liberty

There Is No Sanctuary Of Virtue Like A Home.

An Earthly Immortality Belongs To A Great And Good Character. History Embalms It; It Lives In Its Moral Influence, In Its Authority, In Its Example, In The Memory Of The Words And Deeds In Which It Was Manifested; And As Every Age Adds To The Illustrations Of Its Efficacy, It May Chance To Be The Best Understood By A Remote Posterity.

I Feel, As Never Before, How Justly, From The Dawn Of History To The Present Time, Men Have Paid The Homage Of Their Gratitude And Admiration To The Memory Of Those Who Nobly Sacrifice Their Lives, That Their Fellow-men May Live In Safety And In Honor.

Agriculture Seems To Be The First Pursuit Of Civilized Man. It Enables Him To Escape From The Life Of The Savage, And Wandering Shepherd, Into That Of Social Man, Gathered Into Fixed Communities And Surrounding Himself With The Comforts And Blessings Of Neighborhood, Country, And Home. It Is Agriculture Alone, That Fixes Men In Stationary Dwellings, In Villages, In Towns, And Cities, And Enables The Work Of Civilizations, In All Its Branches, To Go On.

Freedom May Come Quickly In Robes Of Peace Or After Ages Of Conflict And War, But Come It Will, And Abide It Will, So Long As The Principles By Which It Was Acquired Are Held Sacred.
