Death will not give you any trouble if you have a clear conscience; and if you go with this thought: "Lord, I am in Thy hands."”

This concept is indeed a part of America, and without that concept we would be something else than what we are.”

All in pursuit of ever-greater profits.”

“One desire has been the ruling passion of my life. One high motive has acted like a spur upon my mind and soul. and sooner than that I should seek escape from the sacred necessity that is laid upon me, let the breath of life fail me.
