William Henry Harrison Inaugural Address, March 4, 1841

....These precious privileges, and those scarcely less important of giving expression to his thoughts and opinions, either by writing or speaking, unrestrained but by the liability for injury to others, and that a full participation in all the advantages flow from the Government, the acknowledged property of all, the American citizen derives from no charter granted by his fellow-man.  He claims them because he is himself a man, fashioned by the Almighty hand as the rest of his species and entitled to a full share of the blessing with which He has endowed them....

I deem the present occasion sufficiently important and solemn to justify me in expressing to my fellow-citizens a profound reverence for the Christian religion and a thorough conviction that sound morals, religious liberty, and a just sense of religious responsiblility are essentially connected with all true and lasting happiness; and to that Good Being who has blessed us by the gifts of civil and religious freedom, who watched over and prospered the labors of our fathers and has hitherto preserved to us institutions far exceeding in excellence those of any other people, let us unite in ferverntly commending every interest of our beloved country in all future time.
