With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.

Let us have faith that Right makes Might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it.

Stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.

If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, then ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us
from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
