advancing change christian clearer earlier human origin reason salvation scheme shall stronger thinking views
My earlier views at the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures, have become clearer and stronger with advancing years and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them
wise strong philosophy
Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged.
strong lying justice
We will make converts day by day; we will grow strong by the violence and injustice of our adversaries. And, unless truth be a mockery and justice a hollow lie, we will be in the majority after a while.

strength wise strong
In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak, and as strong; as silly and as wise; asbad and good.
strong freedom men

law public sentiment stronger
No law is stronger than is the public sentiment where it is to be enforced.
strong war fighting
The time has come when I am for everybody fighting the rebels. Let Indians fight them; let the Negroes fight them; and if you have got any strong-legged jackasses in Iwoa that can kick rebels to death, they have my hearty consent.
life strong freedom
Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
strong power government
Must a government be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?
strong men weak-man
You can’t make a weak man strong by making a strong man weak
helping-others stronger helping
Nothing is stronger than gentleness.
strong justice public-opinion
Public opinion, though often formed upon a wrong basis, yet generally has a strong underlying sense of justice.
existence grave great liberties maintain question strong whether
It has long been a grave question whether any government, not too strong for the liberties of its people, can be strong enough to maintain its existence in great emergencies
