I have performed my duty to my God, my country, and my family. I have nothing to fear in approaching death. To me it is the mere shadow of God's protecting wing . . . Here I will rest in quiet and peace beyond the reach of calumny's poisoned shaft, the influence of envy and jealous enemies, where treason and traitors or State backsliders and hypocrites in church can have no peace.
Let us look forward to the time when we can take the flag of our country and nail it below the Cross, and there let it wave as it waved in the olden times, and let us gather around it and inscribed for our motto: 'Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and forever,' and exclaim, 'Christ first, our country next!'
If the rabble were lopped off at one end and the aristocrat at the other, all would be well with the country.
If blacks were given the right to vote, that would place every splay-footed, bandy-shanked, hump-backed, thick-lipped, flat-nosed, woolly-headed, ebon-colored in the country upon an equality with the poor white man.
When I die, I desire no better winding sheet than the Stars and Stripes, and no softer pillow than the Constitution of my country.
My putting was a real strength for me today. I holed a few bombs for birdies, but I also made all the short ones, and they really count when it comes to adding up your score.
We are certainly gratified by the Board of Supervisors' vote to accept the settlement agreement we proposed. We have said that this represents a true win-win for Comcast and the residents of San Francisco. And we believe the deal is exactly that.
Everything started going in today. I've been sick all this week, coughing and hacking, and I started feeling a little better today.
It felt good. (I was thinking) that I've got to get out ahead and get on top of him before he comes out and hits me harder.
I'm sitting at 150, $1,000 gets you nowhere. I was at my wits end. I was hitting it terrible at the beginning of the week. I think today the putt on No. 3 woke me up. It is great to hit the shots and make the putts you need to.
I don't think it has sunk in yet. Even on 17 when I looked up and saw my name on the board, I thought 'does that say four shots?' Early on I was really, really nervous.
We want to get it done as quickly and inexpensively with as much creativity and flexibility as we can have.
We're looking at a market where 15 percent of people said they'd be buying in a year, and 40 percent of people will be ready to buy in two years. So what about that 25 percent who are waiting the extra year? They're not in a rush, but they will buy. They have some concerns about confidentiality and reliability of delivery. They want to know who will address these concerns.
I've learned how to deal with some things (this year). I realized, there are people out there who can beat me, want to beat me. And unless I continue to innovate and evolve, I am going to learn a painful lesson from someone who has.
