“I am afraid of nothing on the earth, above the earth or under the earth, except to do wrong. 

The path of duty I shall endeavor to travel, fearing no evil and dreading no consequences. I would rather be defeated in a good cause than to triumph in a bad one. I would not give a fig for a man who would shrink from the discharge of duth for fear of defeat.” 

Alexander Stephens future Vice President of the CSA while still a member of Congress.
