Once to every person and nation come the moment to decide. In the conflict of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side.
From James Russell Lowell
To educate the intelligence is to expand the horizon of its wants and desires.
Fortune is the rod of the weak, and the staff of the brave.
The only faith that wears well and holds its color in all weathers is that which is woven of conviction and set with the sharp mordant of experience.
It is the privilege of genius that life never grows common place, as it does for the rest of us.
The surest plan to make a man is, think him so.
An appeal to the reason of the people has never been known to fail in the long run.
Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.
Truth, after all, wears a different face to everybody, and it would be too tedious to wait till all were agreed.
Folks never understand the folks they hate.
