When we assumed the soldier, we did not lay aside the citizen.

Freedom and Property Rights are inseparable. You can't have one without the other.

Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue?

A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?

It is yet to be decided whether the Revolution must ultimately be considered as a blessing or a curse: a blessing or a curse, not to the present age alone, for with our fate will the destiny of unborn millions be involved.

My brave fellows, let no sensation of satisfaction for the triumphs you have gained induce you to insult your fallen enemy. Let no shouting, no clamorous huzzaing increase their mortification. It is sufficient for us that we witness their humiliation. Posterity will huzza for us.

George Washington did NOT say, I'll die on my feet before I'll live on my knees!

I have a rundown of sources on this on my blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub.

Men's minds are as variant as their faces. Where the motives of their actions are pure, the operation of the former is no more to be imputed to them as a crime, than the appearance of the latter; for both, being the work of nature, are alike unavoidable.

Your proposal raises the greatest mischief that can befall my country. You could not have found a person to whom your schemes are more disagreeable.
