Who knows? The councils of the derangers of humanity are not my native habitat. I but humbly refute in entirety their premise, and declaim that freedom burgeons, even now, as we experience the shadow of the spirit of death looming over us all, a bright ray of sunshine pierces the heart of that spirit and reveals infinite freedom, prosperity, and inconceivable felicity of our posterity that will endure in perpetuity.

No matter how potent the liars, how convincing the lies, the truth remains true, as it will always. Should we ever learn it, we should adhere to it as long as we endure. I have recognized the principles he taught, of being like water and flowing where there is the least resistance, apply to facts as much as fights.
