It is almost a definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.
From John Henry Newman
It is almost the definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.
If we are intended for great ends, we are called to great hazards.
Nothing is more common than for men to think that because they are familiar with words they understand the ideas they stand for.
It is often said that second thoughts are best. So they are in matters of judgment but not in matters of conscience.
Let us take things as we find them: let us not attempt to distort them into what they are not... We cannot make facts. All our wishing cannot change them. We must use them.
