If at any time all labour should cease, and all existing provisions be equally divided among the people, at the end of a single year there could scarcely be one human being left alive--all would have perished by want of subsistence.

In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all, and it comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible, except with the passing of time.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right - stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.

I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody.

Without Divine assistance I can not succeed; with it I can not fail.

If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.

The only security a man can ever have is the ability to do a job uncommonly well.
