Famous quotes containing the words article, united, states and/or constitution:

    Of moral purpose I see no trace in Nature. That is an article of exclusively human manufacture—and very much to our credit.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    All comes united to th’ admiring eyes;
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    If the Union is now dissolved it does not prove that the experiment of popular government is a failure.... But the experiment of uniting free states and slaveholding states in one nation is, perhaps, a failure.... There probably is an “irrepressible conflict” between freedom and slavery. It may as well be admitted, and our new relations may as be formed with that as an admitted fact.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    I never did ask more, nor ever was willing to accept less, than for all the States, and the people thereof, to take and hold their places, and their rights, in the Union, under the Constitution of the United States. For this alone have I felt authorized to struggle; and I seek neither more nor less now.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
