Quote of the day

I am not here to pass civilities or compliments with you, but on other business. I have stood your meanness as long as I intend to. You have played the part of a damned scoundrel, and are a coward, and if you were any part of a man I would slap your jaws and force you to resent it. You may as well not issue any more orders to me, for I will not obey them. . . and as I say to you that if you ever again try to interfere with me or cross my path it will be at the peril of your life.

I do not hate it; I am opposing now only the radical revolutionists who are trying to destroy it.
