"This State is in boundaries and resources greater than many an Old World empire; and think what it is to be a citizen of a Union in which a commonwealth like this is a State."
"Our government is based upon the rule of a self-respecting majority."
"I am impressed, as every man must be, with what our nation is to have within its borders a State such as this."
"It is just so in civil life, and the man has to be a decent man, a square man, a man who acts square by his neighbors, fairly by the State, or he cannot amount to anything;"
