It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so.
From Hosea Ballou
Though ambition in itself is a vice, it often is also the parent of virtue.
Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage.
Those who commit injustice bear the greatest burden.
Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character.
The oppression of any people for opinion's sake has rarely had any other effect than to fix those opinions deeper, and render them more important.
Disease is the retribution of outraged Nature.
Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness.
Theories are always very thin and insubstantial, experience only is tangible.
Never let your zeal outrun your charity. The former is but human, the latter is divine.
