Henry Ward Beecher: “And this is the reason why a free, unobstructed Bible always works toward human rights.”

Two great powers that will not live together are in our midst, and tugging at each other's throats.

Northern ideas must become American, or Southern ideas must become American, before there will be peace.

These are symptoms only, not the disease; the effects, not the causes.

If the North gives to the Nation her radical principles of human rights and democratic Governments, there will be the peace of an immeasurable prosperity.
