I have always believed that a good laugh was good for both the mental and physical digestion.

That everyone may receive at least a moderate education appears to be an objective of vital importance.

By the 'mud-sill' theory it is assumed that labor and education are incompatible; and any practical combination of them impossible. According to that theory, a blind horse upon a tread-mill, is a perfect illustration of what a laborer should be -- all the better for being blind, that he could not tread out of place, or kick understandingly. According to that theory, the education of laborers, is not only useless, but pernicious, and dangerous. In fact, it is, in some sort, deemed a misfortune that laborers should have heads at all.

Why don't you laugh? If I did not laugh I should die, and you need this medicine as much as I do.

In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man.

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

Care for him who shall have borne the battle
