Never violate the sacredness of your individual self-respect.
From Theodore Parker
It is very sad for a man to make himself servant to a single thing; his manhood all taken out of him by the hydraulic pressure of excessive business.
Truth never yet fell dead in the streets; it has such affinity with the soul of man, the seed however broadcast will catch somewhere and produce its hundredfold.
Outward judgment often fails, inward judgment never.
Let others laugh when you sacrifice desire to duty, if they will. You have time and eternity to rejoice in.
The miser, starving his brother's body, starves also his own soul, and at death shall creep out of his great estate of injustice, poor and naked and miserable.
Self-denial is indispensable to a strong character, and the highest kind comes from a religious stock.
Remorse is the pain of sin.
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart.
Politics is the science of urgencies.
