Australian idol Never stir up litigation

Australian idol

Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this. Who can be more nearly a fiend than he who habitually overhauls the register of deeds in search of defects in titles, whereon to stir up strife, and put money in his pocket? Let no young man choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief resolve to be honest at all events; and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer. Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country, and should dwell together in the bonds of fraternal feeling. November 20, 1860 Remarks at Springfield, Illinois The man does not live who is more devoted to peace than I am. None who would do more to preserve it. I have desired as sincerely as any man I sometimes think more than any other man that our present difficulties might be settled without the shedding of blood. April 26, 1861 Address to the Frontier Guard Engaged, as I am, in a great war, I fear it will be difficult for the world to understand how fully I appreciate the principles of peace, inculcated in this letter, and everywhere, by the Society of Friends. March 19, 1862 Letter to Samuel B. Tobey Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time. Much is being said about peace; and no man desires peace more ardently than I. Still I am yet unprepared to give up the Union for a peace which, so achieved, could not be of much duration. September 12, 1864 Letter to Isaac Schermerhorn In stating a single condition of peace, I mean simply to say that the war will cease on the part of the government, whenever it shall have ceased on the part of those who began it. December 6, 1864 Annual Message to Congress When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind, unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and a true maxim, that a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall. Being elected to Congress, though I am very grateful to our friends, for having done it, has not pleased me as much as I expected. October 22, 1846 Letter to Joshua Speed The Presidency, even to the most experienced politicians, is no bed of roses; and Gen. Taylor like others, found thorns within it. No human being can fill that station and escape censure. July 25, 1850 Eulogy on Zachary Taylor I am glad I made the late race. It gave me a hearing on the great and durable question of the age, which I could have had in no other way; and though I now sink out of view, and shall be forgotten, I believe I have made some marks which will tell for the cause of civil liberty long after I am gone. November 19, 1858 Letter to Anson G. Henry Always a whig in politics, and generally on the whig electoral tickets, making active canvasses-I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused me again. We have just carried an election on principles fairly stated to the people. Now we are told in advance, the government shall be broken up, unless we surrender to those we have beaten, before we take the offices. January 11, 1861 Letter to James T. Hale I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it. November 2, 1863 Letter to James H. Hackett I am thankful to God for this approval of the people. But while deeply grateful for this mark of their confidence in me, if I know my heart, my gratitude is free from any taint of personal triumph. I do not impugn the motives of any australian idol opposed to me. It is no pleasure to me to triumph over any one; but I give thanks to the Almighty for this evidence of the peoples resolution to stand by free government and the rights of humanity. November 8, 1864 Response to a Serenade Passion has helped us; but can do so no more. It will in future be our enemy. Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defence. Happy day, when, all appetites controlled, all poisons subdued, all matter subjected, mind, all conquering mind, shall live and move the monarch of the world. Glorious consummation! Hail fall of Fury! Reign of Reason, all hail! That I am not a member of any Christian Church, is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures; and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of australian idol in general, or any denomination of Christians in particular. I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. In their enlightened belief, nothing stamped with the Divine image and likeness was sent into the world to be trodden on, and degraded, and imbruted by its fellows. August 17, 1858 Speech at Lewistown, Illinois To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell. Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him, who has never yet forsaken this favored land, are still competent to adjust, in the best way, all our present difficulty.
