Seite 1605 - ... when . he took the oath of office as President of the United States, that same bitter rival, and unsuccessful candidate for the mighty office, stood by him and held his capacious hat.
Seite 1668 - Love thyself last; cherish those hearts that hate thee; Corruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not; Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's, Thy God's, and truth's; then, if thou fall'st, O Cromwell, Thou fall'st a blessed martyr!
Seite 1471 - I am a member of no religious sect, and I am not a professor of religion. I regret that I am not. I wish that I was, and trust that I shall be.
