Our best successes often come after our greatest disappointments.
From Henry Ward Beecher
The dog is the god of frolic.
We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
All ambitions are lawful except those that climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind.
The real democratic American idea is, not that every man shall be on a level with every other man, but that every man shall have liberty to be what God made him, without hindrance.
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
The ignorant classes are the dangerous classes.
The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.
Gambling with cards or dice or stocks is all one thing. It's getting money without giving an equivalent for it.
We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.
