  • 1678John Bunyan. The Pilgrim's Progress.
    Seeing, then, that God prefers his religion; seeing God prefers a tender conscience; seeing they that make themselves fools for the kingdom of heaven are wisest; and that the poor man that loveth Christ is richer than the greatest man in the world that hates him; Shame, depart, thou art an enemy to my salvation!

  • (Can we date this quote?), J. R. T., I'M A GOOD OLD REBEL:
    I hates the Constitution, / This great Republic too, / I hates the Freedman's Buro, / In uniform of blue;  / I hates the nasty eagle, / With all his bragg and fuss, / The lyin', thievin' Yankees, / I hates them wuss and wuss. / I hates the Yankee nation / And everything they do, / I hates the Declaration / Of Independence, too; / I hates the Glorious Union — / 'Tis dripping with our blood — / I hates their striped banner; / I fit it all I could.
