The two jakes soundtrack

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. In very truth he was, the noblest work of God an honest man. February 8, 1842 Eulogy of Benjamin Ferguson I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him. Let no young man choosing the two jakes soundtrack law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular the two jakes soundtrack resolve to be honest at all events; and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer. Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others. Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues, and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars. In law it is a good policy to never plead what you need not, lest you oblige yourself to prove what you can not. February 20, 1848 Letter to Usher Linder The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day. Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the two jakes soundtrack nominal winner is often a real loser in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough. Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this. Who can be more nearly a fiend than he who habitually overhauls the register of deeds in search of defects in titles, whereon to stir up strife, and put money in his pocket? Let no young man choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief resolve to be honest at all events; and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer. Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country, and should dwell together in the bonds of fraternal feeling. November 20, 1860 Remarks at Springfield, Illinois The man does not live who is more devoted to peace than I am. None who would do more to preserve it. I have desired as sincerely as any man I sometimes think more than any other man that our present difficulties might be settled without the shedding of blood. April 26, 1861 Address to the Frontier Guard Engaged, as I am, in a great war, I fear it will be difficult for the world to understand how fully I appreciate the principles of peace, inculcated in this letter, and everywhere, by the Society of Friends. March 19, 1862 Letter to Samuel B. Tobey Peace does not appear so distant as it did.
