    “It will be the mistake of your life if you go into print in your own defence [sic]. Your denial will reach a new set of people and start them to talking, while the ones who read the original charges will never see the refutation of them.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “[John] Brough’s majority is “glorious to behold.” It is worth a big victory in the field. It is decisive as to the disposition of the people to prosecute the war to the end. My regiment and brigade were both unanimous for Brough [the Union party candidate for governor of Ohio].”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Since people no longer attend church, theater remains as the only public service, and literature as the only private devotion.”
