“If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.

If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.”

No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide.”
