The ways of Providence being inscrutable, and the justice of it not to be scanned by the shallow eye of humanity, nor to be counteracted by the utmost efforts of human power or wisdom, resignation, and as far as the strength of our reason and religion can carry us, a cheerful acquiescence to the Divine Will, is what we are to aim

We signal that good can be achieved amongst human beings who are prepared to trust, prepared to believe in the goodness of people.

While I give you these assurances, and pledge myself in the most unequivocal manner, to exert whatever ability I am possessed of, in your favor-let me entreat you, Gentlemen, on your part, not to take any measures, which, viewed in the calm light of reason, will lessen the dignity, & sully the glory you have hitherto maintained-let me request you to rely on the plighted faith of your Country, and place a full confidence in the purity of the intentions of Congress.

I would not have you believe for one minute tonight that there are not white persons of good will in the South.

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.

Believe in yourself and don't let nobody stopping you from doing what you gotta do, you gotta have faith. If you can't find faith in the world, find faith in God, find faith in yourself but you gotta have faith.
