 I must ever believe that religion substantially good which produces an honest life, and we have been authorized by One whom you and I equally respect, to judge of the tree by its fruit |
| I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. |
| I never did, or countenanced, in public life, a single act inconsistent with the strictest good faith; having never believed there was one code of morality for a public, and another for a private man |
| I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to Heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all. |
| I never told my religion nor scrutinize that of another. I never attempted to make a convert nor wished to change another's creed. I have judged of others' religion by their lives... |
| I never will, by any word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance or admit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others. |
| I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive. |
| I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. |
| I rejoice that in this blessed country of free inquiry and belief, which has surrendered its creed and conscience to neither kings nor priests, the genuine doctrine of only one God is reviving, and I trust that there is not a young man now living in |
| I see no comfort in outliving one's friends, and remaining a mere monument of the times which are past. |
| I see students all over and around the building. It looks nothing like a school. It looks like a country club. |
| I served with General Washington in the Legislature of Virginia... and... with Dr. Franklin in Congress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at a time, nor to any but the main point. |
| I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principles of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale |
| I sincerely. believe. in the general existence of moral instinct. I think it the brightest gem with which the human character is studded, and the want of it as more degrading than the most hideous of the bodily deformities. |
| I steer my bark with hope in the head, leaving fear astern. My hopes indeed sometimes fail, but not oftener than the forebodings of the gloomy. |
