"All religions united with government are more or less inimical to liberty. All, separated from government, are compatible with liberty."
“The time will come when Winter will ask you what you were doing all Summer.”
“Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the grateful and appreciating heart.”
-Henry Clay
