I acknowledge myself a unitarian - Believing that the Father alone, is the supreme God, and that Jesus Christ derived his Being, and all his powers and honors from the Father. ... There is not any reasoning which can convince me, contrary to my senses, that three is one, and one three.

These are times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed.

If we expect to inherit the blessings of our Fathers, we should return a little more to their primitive Simplicity of Manners.

I begin to think, that a calm is not desirable in any situation in life. Man was made for action and for bustle too, I believe.

The habits of a vigorous mind are born in contending with difficulties.

My Dear Son... remember that you are accountable to your Maker for all your words and actions.

Great necessities call out great virtues.
