"Through zeal, knowledge is gotten;
through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost;
let a man who knows the double path of gain and loss
thus place himself that knowledge may grow." |
"He that is good, will infallibly become better,
and he that is bad, will as certainly become worse;
for vice, virtue and time are three things that never stand still." |
"Those who are lifting the world upward and onward
are those who encourage more than criticize." |

"We have all sufficient strength to endure the misfortunes of others." |
"We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing,
while others judge us by what we have already done." |
"Indeed the Idols I have loved so long,
have done my credit in this World much wrong;
have drowned my Glory in a shallow Cup,
and sold my Reputation for a Song." |

"Civilization is a movement, not a condition;
it is a voyage, not a harbor." |
"No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people, but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue, and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles." |
"And I honor the man who is willing to sink
Half his present repute for the freedom to think
And, when he has thought, be his cause strong or weak
Will risk t' other half for the freedom to speak." |

"How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill! In such a place even I would be an ardent patriot." |
"It is part of the American character
to consider nothing as desperate." |
"To endure is greater than to dare;
to tire out hostile fortune;
to be daunted by no difficulty;
to keep heart when all have lost it;
to go through intrigue spotless;
to forgo even ambition when the end is gained
-- who can say this is not greatness?" |

"Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread." |
"There are no hopeless situations;
There are only men who have grown hopeless about them." |
