Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.
A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
