I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

The damnest scoundrel that ever lived, but in the infinite mercy of Providence... also the damnest fool.

I have an irrepressible desire to live till I can be assured that the world is a little better for my having lived in it.

I think that God means that we shall do more than we have yet done in furtherance of his plans and he will open the way for our doing it.

If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.

Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors to bullets.
