John Pierpont quotes

From every place below the skies
The grateful song, the fervent prayer,-
The incense of the heart, -may rise
To heaven, and find acceptance there. (John Pierpont)

A weapon that comes down as still As snowflakes fall upon the sod; But executes a freeman's will, As lightning does the will of God; And from its force nor doors nor locks Can shield you,-'t is the ballot-box.
