Have I Not Destroyed My Enemy When

I Want It Said Of Me By Those Who Knew Me Best, That I Always Plucked A Thistle And Planted A Flower Where I Thought A Flower Would Grow.

The Almighty Has His Own Purposes.

The Will Of God Prevails. In Great Contests Each Party Claims To Act In Accordance With The Will Of God. Both May Be, And One Must Be, Wrong. God Cannot Be For And Against The Same Thing At The Same Time. In The Present Civil War It Is Quite Possible That God's Purpose Is Something Different From The Purpose Of Either Party - And Yet The Human Instrumentalities, Working Just As They Do, Are Of The Best Adaptation To Effect His Purpose.

He Who Molds The Public Sentiment... Makes Statutes And Decisions Possible Or Impossible To Make.

It Often Requires More Courage To Dare To Do Right Than To Fear To Do Wrong.
