"It will be more difficult in the future than ever before to know your profession, and more essential also;"

"It is a good custom for our country to have certain solemn holidays in commemoration of our greatest men and of the greatest crises in our history."

"All honor to them; and shame, thrice shame, to us if we fail to uphold their hands!"

"All cruelty is forbidden, and all harshness beyond what is called for by need."
