It Is Good That War Is So

Private And Public Life Are Subject To The Same Rules-truth And Manliness Are Two Qualities That Will Carry You Through This World Much Better Than Policy Or Tact Of Expediency Or Other Words That Were Devised To Conceal A Deviation From A Straight Line.

If We Do Not Do This Our Churches Will Lighthouses Without Light, Wells Without Water, Dumb Witnesses, Sleeping Watchmen, Silent Trumpets, Messengers Without Tidings, A Comfort For Infidels, Jubilant Joys To The Devil, And An Offense To God.

Act With A Determination Not To Be Turned Aside By Thoughts Of The Past And Fears Of The Future.

It Is Well That War Is So Terrible. We Should Grow Too Fond Of It.

I Think It Better To Do Right, Even If We Suffer In So Doing, Than To Incur The Reproach Of Our Consciences And Posterity.
