nature moving animal
The movements of nature are in a never ending circle. The animal species which has once been put into a train of motion, is still probably moving in that train. For if one link in nature's chain might be lost, another and another might be lost, till this whole system of things should evanish by piece-meal; a conclusion not warranted by the local disappearance of one or two species of animals, and opposed by the thousands and thousands of instances of the renovating power constantly exercised by nature for the reproduction of all her subjects, animal, vegetable, and mineral.

We are endeavoring to reduce the government to the practice of rigid economy to avoid burdening the people.

To me... it appears that there have been differences of opinion and party differences, from the first establishment of government to the present day, and on the same question which now divides our own country; that these will continue through all future time; that every one takes his side in favor of the many, or of the few, according to his constitution, and the circumstances in which he is placed.

presidential political storm
I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.
moments reloading glorious
Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
inspirational life differences
Difference of opinion is helpful in religion.
strength crush hope
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
