One should always do the good, even though it is not done for its own sake.

Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

You cannot have the right to do what is wrong!

It often requires more courage to dare to do right than to fear to do wrong.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

It is the eternal struggle between these two principles - right and wrong - throughout the world. They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time; and wll ever to struggle.

I am not at all concerned about whose side God is on, for I know the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side.

Nothing is more damaging to you than to do something that you believe is wrong.

It does not matter what others do, but what we do. Do that which is good, without fear, and without limit or reserve. What right have we to blame the government when we do not that which is good ourselves? How can we pass judgment on others when we invite the same condemnation on ourselves? If you want to be fearless, do good.

The life of a republic lies certainly in the energy, virtue, and intelligence of its citizens.

Lets have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expedience.
