Great men cultivate love...only little men cherish a spirit of hatred

Men may make laws to hinder and fetter the ballot, but men cannot make laws that will bind or retard the growth of manhood.

One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him.

No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.

There is no escape - man drags man down, or man lifts man up.

I let no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him.

Dignify and glorify common labor. It is at the bottom of life that we must begin, not at the top.
