• With the situation as gray as it could be, no one was more conspicuous in his calm presence of mind than Washington.

• Is success just about winning? Acclaim? Trophies? Wealth? Our personal happiness or satisfaction? I have been blessed to experience some of these over the years, and I can answer without batting an eye: No. Accomplishments, applause, awards and fortune are rewards that often come as the result of hard work and a determined spirit, but there is something bigger. Something better. Something that will outlast the winningest season, the plushest corner office, the heftiest bonus and the loudest cheers. That something can only be found when we look beyond the final score.

• Let me tell you what is coming. After the sacrifice of countless millions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives you may win Southern independence, but I doubt it.

But when they begin to move in a given direction, they move with the steady momentum and perseverance of a mighty avalanche.

• If a trade deficit is determined solely by rates of savings and investment, then the U.S. trade deficit will be impervious to a get-tough trade policy. Slapping higher tariffs on imports will only deprive foreigners of the dollars they would have earned by selling in the U.S. market.

• The North can make a steam engine, locomotive or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or a pair of shoes can you make.

Only in spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with.

The opportunities will always be there for you.
