And so, by these Providences of God -- and the phrase is the government's, not mine -- we are a World Power.»

«What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, mighty scarce. Then let us cherish her; protect her; let us give her our support, our encouragement, our sympathy, ourselves -- if we get a chance.»
«There is nothing in the world like a persuasive speech to fuddle the mental apparatus.»
