I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow citizens, the benign influence of good Laws under a free Government.
The strength of a nation lies in the unity and integrity of its people.
The prosperity of a nation depends on the integrity of its institutions.
A nation that values its freedom must also value its education and its institutions.
