I just know we have been visited, and I believe that we're being observed, and perhaps we can be helped in a crucial time if we're ready for that.

If this spirit shall ever be so far debased as to tolerate a law not obligatory on the Legislature as well as on the people, the people will be prepared to tolerate anything but liberty.
