Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first a right to life; secondly to liberty; thirdly to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. Those are evident branches of rather than deductions from the duty of self-preservation commonly called the first law of nature.
Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it under any circumstances lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.
I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do great things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things…. I got nothing I asked for but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered. I am among men most richly blessed!
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
There is a terrible war coming and these young men who have never seen war cannot wait for it to happen but I tell you I wish that I owned every slave in the South for I would free them all to avoid this war.

Agitators are a set of interfering meddling people who come down to some perfectly contented class of the community and sow the seeds of discontent amongst them. That is the reason why agitators are so absolutely necessary. Without them in our incomplete state there would be no advance towards civilization.
From hence let fierce contending nations know What dire effects from civil discord flow.
No man is good enough to govern another man without that other?s consent.

The law changes and flows like water and … the stream of womens rights law has become a sudden rushing torrent.

Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.
