"Free and fair discussion will ever be found the firmest friend to the truth."
This famous quote, nestled between "Jefferson Greeting Lewis and Clark" and "Daniel Boone at the Judgment Tree," is the basis for the uninterrupted discussion on the Senate floor. It is attributed to George Campbell (1719-1796), a Scottish writer, theologian and lecturer. For more information on Mr. Campbell, Click Here.
"Nothing is politically right which is morally wrong."
These words, found between the murals "Blair's Speech at Louisiana, Missouri" and "Benton's Speech at St. Louis," are credited to Daniel O'Connell (1775-1847), an Irish attorney known as "The Liberator," who fought for the legal rights of Roman Catholics under English Law. More information on Mr. O'Connell can be found Here.
