The Separation Of Church And State In

I Am Trying To Do Two Things: Dare To Be A Radical And Not A Fool, Which Is A Matter Of No Small Difficulty.

It Is Not Right Or Manly To Lie Even About Satan.

The Worst Days Of Darkness Through Which I Have Ever Passed Have Been Greatly Alleviated By Throwing Myself With All My Energy Into Some Work Relating To Others.

The Prosperity Which Now Prevails Is Without Parallel In Our History. Fruitful Seasons Have Done Much To Secure It, But They Have Not Done All. The Preservation Of The Public Credit And The Resumption Of Specie Payments, So Successfully Attained By The Administration Of My Predecessors, Have Enabled Our People To Secure The Blessings Which The Seasons Brought.

There Can Be No Permanent Disfranchised Peasantry In The United States.
