“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”

“We are constantly thinking of the great war ... which saved the Union ... but it was a war that did a great deal more than that. It created in this country what had never existed before—a national consciousness. It was not the salvation of the Union, it was the rebirth of the Union.”
