Those who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting the past with the future do not perform their duty to the world.
Those who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting the past with the future do not perform their duty to the world.
IF WE AND OUR POSTERITY SHALL BE TRUE TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION, IF WE AND THEY SHALL LIVE ALWAYS IN THE FEAR OF GOD AND SHALL RESPECT HIS COMMANDMENTS, IF WE AND THEY SHALL MAINTAIN JUST MORAL SENTIMENTS AND SUCH CONSCIENTIOUS CONVICTIONS OF DUTY AS SHALL CONTROL THE HEART AND LIFE, WE MAY HAVE THE HIGHEST HOPES OF THE FUTURE FORTUNES OF OUR COUNTRY.

If war should sweep our commerce from the seas, another generation will restore it. If war exhausts our treasury, future industry will replenish it. If war desiccate and lay waste our fields, under new cultivation they will grow green again and ripen to future harvest.

But who shall reconstruct the fabric of a demolished government who shall dwell in the well-proportioned columns of constitutional liberty who shall frame together the skillful architecture which unites sovereignty with state's rights, individual security with prosperity.
