"They do not know how pride can stoop, When baffled feelings withering droop; They do not know how hate can burn In hearts once changed from soft to stern, And all the false and fatal zeal The convert of revenge can feel."

"If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon’s, but between patriotism and intelligence on one side and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other." -President Ulysses S. Grant
"They do not know how pride can stoop, When baffled feelings withering droop; They do not know how hate can burn In hearts once changed from soft to stern, And all the false and fatal zeal The convert of revenge can feel."
