Never was a person more mortified than I was at this time, to see so…

My name is Clark, and I have come out to see what you brave fellows are doing in Kentucky and to lend you a helping hand, if necessary.

I have given the United States half the territory they possess, and for them to suffer me to remain in poverty, in consequence of it, will not redound much to their honor hereafter.

I carry in my right hand war, and peace in my left... Here is a bloody belt and a white one. Take which you please.

Great things have been effected by a few men well conducted.

If a country were not worth protecting, it was not worth claiming.

I look'd far back into the past, and lo! in bright array, I saw, as in a dream, the forms of ages pass'd away. It was a stately convent, with its old and lofty walls, And gardens with their broad green walks, where soft the footstep falls.
