Before all else, we seek, upon our common labor as a nation, the blessings of Almighty God.

I see God through my children. I speak to God through my children. I am humbled for the blessings He has given me.

People's blessings give you the power to work tirelessly. The only thing required is a commitment.

Your prayers for my present and future felicity are received with gratitude; and I sincerely wish, Gentlemen, that you may in your social and individual capacities taste those blessings, which a gracious God bestows upon the righteous.

The best way for a person to have happy thoughts is to count his blessings and not his cash.

I wish you all the joy that you can wish.
