• There are a lot of memories we imagine. We play them over and over in our minds, trying to orchestrate our movements and words to perfection. Or maybe it's just that I've lived inside of my head more than any other person in the history of the world. Maybe none of us can really predict how we will act at any give moment. Maybe we're all at the mercy of circumstance in spite of our well-laid plans.

• They have always taught and trained you to believe it to be your patriotic duty to go to war and to have yourselves slaughtered at their command.

• It yet remains a problem to be solved in human affairs, whether any free government can be permanent, where the public worship of God, and the support of religion, constitute no part of the policy or duty of the state in any assignable shape.

• Somos receptores de las más selectas bendiciones de Dios. Disfrutamos de una abundancia de cosas materiales superior a la disfrutada por cualquier otra nación en la historia del mundo; pero a menos que mantengamos viva la conciencia de que todas estas bendiciones proceden de Dios y forman parte de nuestra gran herencia espiritual, pueden desmoronarse como cenizas en nuestras manos. "En nada ofende el hombre a Dios, ni contra nadie se enciende su ira, sino contra los que no confiesan su mano en todas las cosas y no obedecen sus mandamientos".
