Let none falter who thinks he is right, and we may succeed.

FIRST

Labor is like any other commodity in the market—increase the demand for it and you increase the price of it.

SECOND

When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees.

THIRD

I say "try," for if we never try, we never succeed.

FOURTH

The pioneer in any movement is not generally the best man to bring that movement to a successful issue.

FIFTH

Defeat and failure make everything seem wrong.

SIXTH

This nation cannot live on injustice.

SEVENTH

Something had to be done, and, as there does not appear to be any one else to do it, I did it.

EIGHTH

Poor parsons seem always to have large families.

NINTH

If it be true that the Lord has appointed me to do the work you have indicated, is it not probable that he would have communicated knowledge of the fact to me as well as to you?

TENTH

I trust I shall be willing to do my duty, though it costs my life.

ELEVENTH

I hope peace will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time.

TWELFTH

What there is of me is self-made.

THIRTEENTH

I was young once, and I am sure I was never ungenerously thrust back.

FOURTEENTH

Thank God for not making me a woman, but if He had, I suppose He would have made me just as ugly as He did, and no one would ever have tempted me.

FIFTEENTH

You may say anything you like about me,—if that will help.

SIXTEENTH

No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty—none less inclined to take, or touch, aught which they have not honestly earned.

SEVENTEENTH

As our case is new, so we must think anew.

EIGHTEENTH

I shall do less whenever I believe what I am doing hurts the cause; and I shall do more whenever I believe doing more helps the cause.

NINETEENTH

No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us.

TWENTIETH

If I can learn God's will, I will do it.

TWENTY-FIRST

It is the nature of the case, and no one is to blame.

TWENTY-SECOND

Tell the whole truth.

TWENTY-THIRD

He sticks through thick and thin,—I admire such a man.

TWENTY-FOURTH

If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any constitutional right, it might in a moral point of view justify revolution,—certainly would if such right were a vital one.

TWENTY-FIFTH

My hand was tired; but my resolution was firm.

TWENTY-SIXTH

It is a difficult role, and so much the greater will be the honor if you perform it well.

TWENTY-SEVENTH

I shall write my papers myself. The people will understand them.

TWENTY-EIGHTH

Though much provoked, let us do nothing through passion and ill-temper.

TWENTY-NINTH

Have confidence in yourself, a valuable if not indispensable quality.
