“My tender age in sorrow did begin:
And still with sicknesses and shame
Thou did’st so punish sin,
That I became
Most thin.
With Thee
Let me combine
And feel this day Thy victory;”

Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“For thou, O Spring! canst renovate
All that high God did first create.
Be still his arm and architect,
Rebuild the ruin, mend defect.”
